Local leaders are calling for moderated expectations for what reparations will actually look like<\/a> for Black California residents.\u00a0<\/p>\n

California is one of multiple states negotiating over economic reparations for Black Americans whose ancestors were victimized by the Atlantic slave trade and its aftermath. While the state of California was designated as a free state when it joined the Union in 1850, their plans include restitution for actions like redlining and policing of the Black community in the past.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Wall Street Journal reported that California\u2019s reparations task force is prepared to issue a nearly-1,000 page report to California\u2019s legislature later in June, noting that this group is “likely to suggest dozens of measures that could cost hundreds of billions of dollars.”<\/p>\n

The same publication also observed that state political leaders, including Black legislators who are in favor of reparations in some form, warn it could take years for many of the task force\u2019s recommended policies to be implemented. “Direct financial compensation to Black Californians, they said, may not happen at all,” The Journal wrote.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m not going to sit here and make the promise that everybody\u2019s going to get a check,” said state Senator Steven Bradford, D-Calif., one of the task force members. “I want people to have a broader view on what reparations could be and a greater acceptance that it might take a little time.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bradford has warned before that people must be “realistic”<\/a> about their expectations. He declared in the past, “I don\u2019t want to set folks\u2019 expectations and hopes up that they\u2019re going to be getting, you know, seven-figure checks. That\u2019s just not happening.”<\/p>\n

He is reportedly not the only state leader who cautions that reparations may be more complicated than merely sending checks to countless California citizens.<\/p>\n

“The Legislative Black Caucus, which includes Bradford, is expected to lead any effort to act on the task force\u2019s recommendations,” The Journal noted. “While many members have said they support monetary reparations, some have also said programs to help Black descendants of slaves access higher education, buy a home or start a business may be more feasible in the short term.”<\/p>\n

The Journal noted that the task force has outlined a historical case of why reparations are owed, despite California\u2019s history as a free state in theory.<\/p>\n

“While California joined the Union as a free state, task force research showed that hundreds if not thousands of Black slaves were brought to the state during the gold rush,” The Journal wrote. “It passed a fugitive-slave law allowing slaves brought into California before it became a state to be captured and returned to their owners.”<\/p>\n

Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., made a statement last month that noted the complicated and nuanced nature of paying for reparations, “Dealing with that legacy [of slavery] is about much more than cash payments<\/a>.” A spokesperson later clarified that the governor was “not ruling anything out.”<\/p>\n

The Journal noted that many local taxpayers are debating the idea of making payments for historical misdeeds.<\/p>\n

“Who is paying for this?” One public letter to the task force asked. “Should Japanese-Americans whose families were interned pay? Or women, who were long considered chattel and couldn\u2019t even own property during slavery[,] pay?”\u00a0<\/p>\n

California’s plan to grant reparations to its Black residents could cost the state $800 billion<\/a> \u2013 nearly triple the state’s existing budget \u2013 economists predicted in a preliminary estimate in March.<\/p>\n

In May, some activists demanded hundreds of millions of dollars in reparations per person, referencing to the historical “40 acres and a mule” promise to former slaves.<\/p>\n

“You know that the numbers should be equivocal to what an acre was back then. We were given 40, OK? We were given 40 acres. You know what that number is. You keep trying to talk about now, yet you research back to slavery and you say nothing about slavery, nothing,” Reverend Tony Pierce proclaimed. “So, the equivocal number from the 1860s for 40 acres to today is $200 million for each<\/a> and every African-American.”<\/p>\n

However, leaders like California Secretary of State Shirley Weber, a former state senator who helped pass the law establishing the task force in the first place, noted to the Journal that actually implementing a reparations policy is no easy task with budget restraints.<\/p>\n

“Because now you\u2019re talking resources, now you\u2019re talking investment,” she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Weber also said that giving people money directly may not even the best way to enrich their lives.<\/p>\n

“If we say that the health disparity in this country is great and every Black person gets $5,000, will that change the health disparities in California? Probably not,” she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
