Reparations Committee seeks state apology for Reagan's 'Welfare Queens' term, but he didn't coin it.\">negatively affected black people<\/a>. Among them is then-Governor Ronald Reagan coining the term \u201cwelfare queens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs California Governor (1967-1975), Ronald Reagan coined the term \u2018welfare queen\u2019 as racist coding to promote his philosophy preferring a limited government,\u201d the committee wrote. \u201cThis terminology conjures stereotypes of single Black women as hypersexualized, aggressive, and dependent on government income with frivolous spending habits. Despite that the majority of welfare recipients are white, this racist label blamed African American women for shortfalls in the United States\u2019 social safety net and suggested they were more responsible for their poverty than others.

The far-left publication Slate reported in a 2013 article on the term and its origins that Reagan did not originate the term. Reagan gave a speech in January 1976, nearly a year after he left the Governor\u2019s mansion, describing a Chicago woman named Linda Taylor who had been collecting more than $150,000 a year in payments from various <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/schumer-spokesman-celebrates-1-9-trillion-covid-relief-plan-erases-ny-budget-deficit\/\" title=\"Schumer Spokesman Celebrates: .9 Trillion COVID Relief Plan Erases NY Budget Deficit\">social safety net programs<\/a>. It was the Chicago Tribune who highlighted Taylor\u2019s lavish lifestyle and dubbed her the \u201cwelfare queen.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Reparations Panel Recommends Apology and Censure for Injustices<\/h3>\n<p>Besides an apology for \u201cwelfare queens,\u201d the reparations panel recommends that any apology from the state \u201cmust also include a censure of the gravest barbarities carried out on behalf of the State by its representative officers, governing bodies, and the people.\u201d Those injustices include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A former Confederate serving as the first acting President of the University of California<\/li>\n<li>California not passing any anti-slavery laws, despite being admitted to the Union as a free state<\/li>\n<li>Confederate monuments<\/li>\n<li>Zoning ordinances targeting black people<\/li>\n<li>Suppressing the Black Panther Party in the 1960s and 1970s<\/li>\n<li>Developing oil and gas projects and building hazardous waste plants near majority-black neighborhoods<\/li>\n<li>Terminating affirmative action programs in public employment<\/li>\n<li>Racial disparities in the child welfare system, law enforcement, the prison population, jury service, health care, the number of black physicians and licensed attorneys<\/li>\n<li>Licensing requirements excluding black people from skilled jobs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Direct Payments to Black Residents of California<\/h3>\n<p>The report is headlined by its proposal for direct payments to black residents of California.
