California reparations panel APPROVES payments of up to $1.2 million to every black resident

Why to every black resident? Some blacks in California aren’t fba. Non fba don’t deserve reparations.

I believe it's to black "qualifying" California residents. What criteria would you establish to "qualify?" In addition, how would the payments be established (meaning the amount) for each "qualifying" individual?

Those who have us slave lineage. I'm good with 1 million down payment and ongoing payments for some years just like the Jewish people.

Ok, I assume you would use Sherman's Special Field Orders No. 15:

Special Field Orders No. 15.
Headquarters Military Division of the Mississippi,
In the Field, Savannah, Ga., January 16, 1865.
I. The islands from Charleston south, the abandoned rice-fields along the rivers for thirty miles back from the sea, and the country bordering the Saint Johns River, Fla., are reserved and set apart for the settlement of the Negros now made free by the acts of war and the proclamation of the President of the United States.
II. At Beaufort, Hilton Head, Savannah, Fernandina, Saint Augustine, and Jacksonville the blacks may remain in their chosen or accustomed vocations; but on the islands, and in the settlements hereafter to be established, no white person whatever, unless military officers and soldiers detailed for duty, will be permitted to reside; and the sole and exclusive management of affairs will be left to the freed people themselves, subject only to the United States military authority and the acts of Congress. By the laws of war and orders of the President of the United States the negro is free, and must be dealt with as such. He cannot be subjected to conscription or forced military service, save by the written orders of the highest military authority of the Department, under such regulations as the President or Congress may prescribe; domestic servants, blacksmiths, carpenters, and other mechanics will be free to select their own work and residence, but the young and able-bodied negroes must be encouraged to enlist as soldiers in the service of the United States, to contribute their share toward maintaining their own freedom and securing their rights as citizens of the United States. Negroes so enlisted will be organized into companies, battalions, and regiments, under the orders of the United States military authorities, and will be paid, fed, and clothed according to law. The bounties paid on enlistment may, with the consent of the recruit, go to assist his family and settlement in procuring agricultural implements, seed, tools, boats, clothing, and other articles necessary for their livelihood.
III. Whenever three respectable negroes, heads of families, shall desire to settle on land, and shall have selected for that purpose an island, or a locality clearly defined within the limits above designated, the inspector of settlements and plantations will himself, or by such sub-ordinate officer as he may appoint, give them a license to settle such island or district, and afford them such assistance as he can to enable them to establish a peaceable agricultural settlement. The three parties named will subdivide the land, under the supervision of the inspector, among themselves and such others as may choose to settle near them, so that each family shall have a plot of not more than forty acres of tillable ground, and when it borders on some water channel with not more than 800 feet water front, in the possession of which land the military authorities will afford them protection until such time as they can protect themselves or until Congress shall regulate their title. The quartermaster may, on the requisition of the inspector of settlements and plantations, place at the disposal of the inspector one or more of the captured steamers to ply between the settlements and one or more of the commercial points, heretofore named in orders, to afford the settlers the opportunity to supply their necessary wants and to sell the products of their land and labor.
IV. Whenever a negro has enlisted in the military service of the United States he may locate his family in any one of the settlements at pleasure and acquire a homestead and all other rights and privileges of a settler as though present in person. In like manner negroes may settle their families and engage on board the gunboats, or in fishing, or in the navigation of the inland waters, without losing any claim to land or other advantages derived from this system. But no one, unless an actual settler as above defined, or unless absent on Government service, will be entitled to claim any right to land or property in any settlement by virtue of these orders.
V. In order to carry out this system of settlement a general officer will be detailed as inspector of settlements and plantations, whose duty it shall be to visit the settlements, to regulate their police and general management, and who will furnish personally to each head of a family, subject to the approval of the President of the United States, a possessory title in writing, giving as near as possible the description of boundaries, and who shall adjust all claims or conflicts that may arise under the same, subject to the like approval, treating such titles altogether as possessory. The same general officer will also be charged with the enlistment and organization of the negro recruits and protecting their interests while absent from their settlements, and will be governed by the rules and regulations prescribed by the War Department for such purpose.
VI. Brig. Gen. R. Saxton is hereby appointed inspector of settlements and plantations and will at once enter on the performance of his duties. No change is intended or desired in the settlement now on Beaufort Island, nor will any rights to property heretofore acquired be affected thereby.
By order of Maj. Gen. W. T. Sherman:
L. N. DAYTON, Assistant Adjutant-General.

— William T. Sherman, Military Division of the Mississippi; 1865 series - Special Field Order 15, January 16, 1865.[2]

How would you prove lineage? Would you use the census from 1870, 1880, 1890? And to your knowledge are there any organization that would be able to provide that information to the "qualifying" individuals?

 
So that works out to about one furnished house in Los Angeles (in the hood), a pretty decent wardrobe, and maybe a couple of good vehicles. What visionaries these people are... :dunno:

Just exempt me from taxes... I'll take that. They can keep the fucking chump change!

Im also feeling us pooling our money together and purchasing our own land,

but without a proper nation building procedure.... that includes our own police and military...

it would be a money pit... I think we will be ready for that, in the next couple of generations,

I like the no tax and that goes for everything... thats for decades of us paying taxes for NO

REPRESENTATION....

They should give folks an option, take the money or live tax free..

Unless its over five milly, Im takin the Tax free life..

the funny shit is how many folks are salty as fuck... which is stupid,

everybody OWED something....

Just nowhere near as much as we are..... without even touching

being enslaved...

Bruh the spreading of diseases, the bringing of all these fuckin RATS and PIGEONS

disease carrying muthafucka to these shores, spreading smallpox and all its forms which

includes HERPES and other std's...

they really DONT WANT THIS DISCUSSION they think its just about being enslaved..

HA!!!!

I shut so many cacs, when they try to lowkey say we dont deserve reparations,

I say, Name ONE group of People that were threatend with DEATH, if they

tried to read.. EVEN THE BIBLE, then made that SHIT A LAW..!!

I am not sure, but I believe any reparation payments provided to black individuals who qualify would be tax exempt on the monies received.
On a personal note, because I am a "minimum wage" brother I think direct cash payments would be more beneficial for me as opposed to being tax exempt. The cash in your hand would allow you to pursue your own ventures (open or support a business), invest, save or whatever you feel like doing with the additional cash.

Tax exempt is fine if that puts you in a better situation, but for me "tax exempt" implies that I am employed by someone else (private or government agency). In addition, what happens when you retire from work and you're basically on a fixed income? Wouldn't your taxes be reduced at that point if you are receiving a pension and social security?

I feel you on that.. but when you do get that reparations check....have a game plan ON DECK,

do NOT fuckin WING IT.... think about something thats going to bring you residual income...

something that you REALLY love to do....I do feel the money in hand thingy,

Im just tired of paying taxes.. BUUUUUUT

A bird in hand is worth more than some promises of not paying taxes,

they could do that shit for three years and just shut it down and be like fuck it,

you shouldve taken the bag....

so there is always that too...

I just wish we could all pool our money together and buy up some

Islands and develop them muthafuckas....

Good positive thoughts and I hate paying taxes too!
On a personal note, I made some errors filling out my 1040 (for 2021). The IRS sent me a letter (proposed payment) back in November 2022.

Since then I have received 3 "We need an additional 60 days to send you a complete response on what action we are taking on your account."

Damn.. dont feel too bad, my bruhs homie drives for Uber X, and was making some nice change, easily

over a hundred stax for five years straight,

Bruh he just got hit with a tax bill for damn near forty thousand dollars... they went back

THREE YEARS on his ass.....he thought he was tracking his miles but some app he was using,

fucked him up bad...

so it could always be worse....
 
Hope folks don't give it right back. But that's on them. Can be a game changer but coming into money usually ends poorly if the only thing you know how to do is spend it.

Speaking from personal experience

I’m cynical. I think this is all an elaborate ruse to showcase to the FBA crowd that republicans aren’t interested in repetitions, so to advocate not voting for democrats seems ridiculous.
 
FBA SC and Tennessee.

Got an aunt with Pakistan roots which is strange.

Ain't doing that DNA stuff on myself
 
Both my parents are fba, one going back to SC and the other going back to Louisiana.
Both your dads are faggots and nobody gives a flying fuck you Boston baked bitch. Why you in here you not from California pussy ass bitchmade Latino tranny loving fake militant. Worry about your shitty ass city and them Red headed honkies treating you like the bitch nigga you are pussy ho

Who qualifies for reparations?

The task force announced in a March 2022 report that any descendant of enslaved African Americans or of a “free Black person living in the United States prior to the end of the 19th century” would be eligible for reparations.

More than 2.5 million, or about 6.5 percent, of Californians are Black, according to the latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau, though that doesn’t mean all can trace their heritage back to meet these requirements.

The task force does state that in order to be eligible for reparations, applicants must be a resident of California — and have proof — that they have been a resident for at least six months of time within each area of harm.

Thank you for the moral support. Even though I don't believe I owe them anything I would be lying if I didn't say this ordeal hasn't been stressful.
