My grandfather was a coal miner, the government used to send in thugs to put a violent end to strikes. Shouldn’t I be eligible for a break as well?

No enumerated power for the federal to require non-state actors to respect federal civil rights.
Yes, they are provided limited protection in employment. (Although as implemented, age protection is a joke.) Do you agree with that?
If I read the article correctly, they are trying to pay this out over like 250 years.
I suspect people will be greatly disappointed when they see what they actually will get.

I agree, the protections are next to useless but I don’t think that’s the point. Protecting any group, at the expense of others, only makes things worse, not better.

Sorry, but I did not see that point in your posts.

Protections for women and seniors are recognized protections. It doesn’t matter if they are effective or not. It leaves white males, under a certain age, as the only unprotected group.
Perhaps white males should seek reparations.
Native Americans owned slaves including labor slaves, sex slaves and human sacrifices.
They had been practicing slavery for over 1,000 years before Columbus
and did not abandoned the practice until white abolitionists forced them to abandon it.
Anway, if you are the same race a this girl (an escaped slave) then perhaps you deserve reparations from anyone of the same race as her owners.
WOULD get, IF the thing ever goes anywhere.
Which it should not.
Free stuff nobody owes them isn’t enough for race grievance pimps.

Reparations is a complex and for obvious reasons very emotive. As a middle class, middle aged white guy I am hardly in a position to pass judgement on this; however, if this Reverend Pierce is saying California should pay reparations to anyone not just California residents is quite frankly silly.
Sounds like he needs to be pushing for reparations at the federal level.
It will be interesting to see what this committee finally recommends in July later this year.
As an englishman
Yes mate that as well.

Best part
Reverend Tony Pierce came to the microphone and slammed the idea of limiting the cash payouts to California residents: “There should be no residency requirements for California! We have to encourage our people to come back to California! What better way to encourage our people to come back to California if we have no requirements?”
Hilarious, guess his bible doesn’t teach math.
