'California's Case for Reparations': An ABC7 Originals documentary 

Never forget since they won't

Handout we have been working since the day we came hear learn your history and we are still working with not a one hand it seems to me that's all your four father was doing is getting hand out on black people backs so now what your talking about

@@charronboughton5580here* you bum

That’s right: the rest of you are in charge and doing the leading; that’s also why the economy is in the toilet, because your work and work ethic is inferior in comparison to Black people. We just quiet quit on the national and the rest of you are garbage.

@@charronboughton5580 You must be blind or never been to the Ghetto I have family members meaning tangible evidence, that have been on welfare the 63 years I have been alive, and her kids and grand kids do the same thing, most people in her community do the same thing, who worked?

What a shameless hustle. The US is a land of immigrants probably most immigrated here after slavery or had nothing to do with it yet their descendants 200 yrs later are lumped together for what a handful of people did. 🙄

My solution is to give them reparations with the stipulation they can never use racism again, if they do, they have to pay back the money with interest, if they don't pay the money back they have to go to jail 1 year for every $100.

Oh it’s coming here too! Did you even watch the video?

How was non slaves states not benefactors of slavery and cheap black labor for centuries?

@@kurtgainz i never owned a slave and don't owe a dime. get a job.

@@chickenfarmer209 How many Indians did you drive off of their land and kill?

​@@kurtgainzYou are not getting reparations from the Democrat's or Republicans

You stole ower land so what about just forget you wouldn't

@@charronboughton5580 Sweeping accusations against anonymous strangers are meaningless. The ones who seek to take what someone else has bear the burden of proof that they own it. What is your case number?

​@@charronboughton5580 Bro is that even English? Lmaoo

@@charronboughton5580 The accuser bears the burden of proof that the accused is guilty of the crime they are accused of.

Paying more for everything in life, having to drive 3x as far to work, in order to live in a safer neighborhood away from the doctors and scholars reparations would be nice too.

naw brotha it dont work like that im sure we invented bikes too, step aside playa. lmfao

Yt ppl don’t have hearts 😕 clearly. It’s giving delusional

It's the greatest grift.

​@@BillionssEnttypical racist

​@@BillionssEntat least we have brains

So I guess we made everything up

I know your ancestors had slave owners racist piece of shit

The whole country would be reparations if that were the case. You’d lose way more. Stop crying over warnings 😂

Dat be funny

And at the top they look like you. And than touch boys at church 😂😂😂

Lolololol your funny😂😂😂😂😂

Africa is not a country it's a continent and African leaders sold their enemies and criminal. Just like how the nazi feels about the jews, the irish vs. the english, the french vs. the viking. China vs. Japan. Maybe learn geography m then history.

Reparations= Sweat Equity The term sweat equity refers to a person or company's contribution toward a business venture or other project. Sweat equity is generally not monetary and, in most cases, comes in the form of physical labor, mental effort, and time. Sweat equity is commonly found in real estate and the construction industry, as well as in the corporate world-especially for startups. Sweat equity originally referred to the value-enhancing improvements generated from the sweat of one's brow. So when people say they use sweat equity, they mean their physical labor, mental capacity, and time to boost the value of a specific project or venture. That would have trickled down to their kids that parents were from the south, such as my parent. I live in California. Reparations isn't just about Slavery. White Californians benefited from these major govt programs Homestead act 1863, to acquire land, Californians benefited from that. GI Bill for education after WW2. We got no recognition for our sweat equity, hence no free education to build a career. VA loans for home and business ownership. Which was the start of the white middle class and building wealth.

hater much?

@@NikkiPorter-p7q Yes I hate this, what made you come to such a novel conclusion detective?

Nah, you’re white, so you will always be exploited by leftists.

Too bad the Irish, Arabs and Vikings didn’t built up this economy. Do you know how many businesses still exist today that made their money off of Black Chattle Slavery?

The Vikings and Arabs that enslaved your people weren't from California.

? Blac mean pink skin people in old gigish English.

We already give them reparations It’s called welfare 😊

Black people should be going after Washington and Oregon for banning them.

you don't know history.

@@Billiepippen you think California had slavery? Wow kiddo

How stupid can you be

Did you even watch it in its entirety? This was a great video what exactly is absurd?

@@BillionssEnt Pls look at the post by busterofcoviddeniers for the reason. It’s very simple…🙄🙄

@@BillionssEnt they’ll never say because their uneducated and lack comprehension skills

@@BillionssEnt As civil rights activist and friend of MLK, Bayard Rustin said in 1969, "If my great-grandfather picked cotton for 50 years, then he may deserve some money, but he's dead and gone and nobody owes me anything"

🤬 shut up, why should white people inherit the wealth from their ancestors rape, murder and exploitation but indigenous people who built the country should not. U sound dumb af idc who friend you say u were. No friend of mine beat it.

@T-R-O-L-L-E-D shut up 🤐

@@theowner5052👈 pound sand clown.

Good don’t vote 😂

That's fine! Live with Trump, Moron!

Yeah hate that. Takes away from actual families

Yep I'm going to tell everyone I'm half black now. 😊

To hell with u haters. Reparations is coming whether u like it not.

Yup sure is, homes, business opened, educations paid for too

@@theowner5052lol

Backwoods* and theirs going to be a lot of new black brands. You afraid? 😱

@@BillionssEnt no, my side chick is black.

@@BillionssEnt 🤣🤣

you can't have and keep what your ancestors stole from them.

It's not just slavery. It's Jim crow, share cropping, red lining, lynching, exclusion from the GI bill, imminent domain targeting black neighborhoods (Seneca village aka central park, freeways splitting black areas etc.), housing discrimination, medical racism, and I could go on. Cut the check!

how can I be free yet another man determines for me if i am free or not?

@T-R-O-L-L-E-D ur whole society benefitted. It was called the SLAVE ECONOMY because slavery was the WHOLE ECONOMY. All american industries benefitted from the slave economy. Black folks weren't benefitting economically at all during slavery. Ur ppl who came after ww2 benefitted because there was a wealthy country to go to that was built on slave labor. If it wasn't for slavery America would not be the super power it is today.

@T-R-O-L-L-E-D nice try but you can say that about native Americans even more. Black people didn't destroy them but we pay towards their reparations. your involvement or level of benefit doesn't matter when giving money to anyone else. this proves you are an anti black racist. you are maintaining the number 1 rule o f being a white racist and that is to never help black people escape the poverty yall put them in.

innocent doesn't mean not responsible. "Nonvictims" doesn't mean unaffected or unimpacted. In law we have a concept called vicarious liability that routinely and regularly applies to place the COST of blame on a responsible party. A customer drops a shampoo in a store and another customer slips in it. The store pays because it is responsible. It gets hard to understand when selfish, racist, ignorant, self-important thoughts are all that you're made of. Corporations also fought against vicarious liability to avoid having to pay you for your broken foot when customers of even employees get injured at work. So your perspective is nothing new.

@michaeljoseph6782 Innocent certainly does mean not responsible. Nonvictim certainly does mean bearing no material harm. If you aren't out anything; there is no cost to place on anybody. I also oppose frivolous lawsuits targeted against deep pockets instead of responsible parties..

They aren’t innocent

@@LebronCCP Who? What have they been convicted of?

​@@LebronCCPwe never owned slaves

This is kinda funny, but queen khalifa was “black” 🎓 crazy I NEVER heard her name ever in any history class I wonder why

You are invaders period! Wherever you set your pink stinky feet outside of Europe!

In a way, part of it has been given back but we keep the right to tax it.

Oh, it HAS .

We should

All y'all racist, thieving pink people gonna pay! Hell y'all stole America!

The African kangz who sold them should pay

What about the Africans who sold you?

@@shawnboahene5231 wat about em?

Nah, timberlands get stolen a ton because they were in style almost a decade ago.

A lie.

your ancestors freedom was purchased from the south at the cheapest price possible.

It's more racist to make us pay for something a few people did 200 years ago. It's also your own fault if you can't live well in this country.

Your solution to being denied gaining wealth is a one time payment that isn't likely to fix any systemic issues anyways? Or do you want the payments to be so frequent or so big they carry you for life at the taxpayers' expense?

No slaves were owned in CA

You need to do your research. I can tell you're not very educated to state such foolishness.​@@jallen1227

And they act like we don’t deserve equity, whole system is designed anti-black…. Hire everyone except “black” don’t even need to speak the language because they never want us to acquire enough for equity. And honestly we shouldn’t have to go to white ppl or any foreigner as our “boss” or superior. We are the superior we built everything.

@T-R-O-L-L-E-D piece of mind not to beat the shit out of yts… you’re really only proving the point against yourself. Imagine all the things we would have built If our land labor and intellectual property were not stolen MORON. Or is contemplating lost potential too much for your little pea brain 😟 I sympathize with your position you’re probably incapable of that as well.

Like you built wakanda from the ground up? 😂😅😂😅😂😅

@@Semper_Iratus dumb

400 years? Slavery has been going on FOREVER. You probably don't even have a job, you ain't built a goddam thing.

U don't say other people don't need reparations.most of these people are immigrants.

Christ was black and man was made in GOD's image. So you hate black people which will engulf your future.

Homestead act of 1863, GI bill for education, VA loan for education.

Start with the wars America sponsor's 😮

@@evinwillet407 Yep, they don't want to talk about that though

But we are sending $61B overseas 🤷🏾‍♀️

Exactly ​@@GeorgeNichols

Yet America gave Billions to a country that has nothing to do with us!!! This shit sad that so many people don’t give af about that but have a problem with black people getting it.

In the same place they are now

BEEN studyin it for SEVERAL years now and its a bunc* of B.S! RULERS are JUST as RACIST ,i*norant and idiotic as people in comments!

They should research the tulsa massacre

Your jealousy and obsession with black people is ooozing out here

With your superior comprehension skills, did you watch the video?

😂😅😂😅😂😅😂

Translation: "Everything I think I know about black people and their contributions comes strictly from mainstream media outlets that attempts to paint them all under a negative light and I subscribe because I literally have nothing better to do with my own life and mine is so miserable that I cannot handle my own insecurities that I have about them so I just start spewing on the internet to make myself feel better."

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar, cheers!

And Mexicans had it easy too? Mexicans don't deserve a dime? Oh wait they are out working their butts off

Rufus Morgan Burgess say it loud! And run me my check 🤬 and if ppl don’t know the name of their ancestors or what they owned because of shady practices of the time they still deserve to be compensated for all the suffering inflicted by this government.

@@BillionssEnt Nope; Just demanding free money is not adequate; no matter how loud you do it. The ones who seek to take what someone else has bear the burden of proof that they own it. If you aren't out anything; You aren't owed anything.

U guys get on the internet and troll us and it’s all fun and games from your white point of views but I have a cousin my age who lost their life just trying get by day to day as a black man in America. He and countless others may not have lost their life if we had more resources and opportunities. American lives are on the line. People at the top should be able to sacrifice a pj and summer home so those who were robbed of opportunity can have a chance in this game.

@@BillionssEnt 'You guys'? How many people do you think I am? 'Us'? How many people do you think you are? Your militant racial chauvinism is quite clearly expressed. That is all I'm here for. Your performance has been exemplary. Thank you for your uncircumspect candor. Trying to couch your little race war in some kind of justice really doesn't fit. Your targets are innocent people and your constituents are militant savages.

In some cases not easy to find. Most slaves where not assigned a "sire" name, birthdates not recorded. Simply listed in tax documents, bill of sales with a first name along with the animals owned or 21:39 sold.🤬

wrong do you research before you speak

Yes, it was do your research before you say things like that.

you are.

I wonder if Sunny Hostin will pay her fair share😉

not you but your ancestors

@@NikkiPorter-p7q you don't mind inheriting the wealth of ancestors

It has an even been paid if it will at all. But they pay millions in millions to Ukraine. People are not up in arms about that too much.

It's to be expected. I mean they even convinced themselves the civil war wasn't about slavery and at the same time say they fought to free us so that's reparations. That is who we deal with on a daily basis. We should know them well by now.

Restitution is not the same as Reparations. What about the Black tribes in Africa who captured and sold Africans to whites? What about the free Blacks who owed slaves? Finally, what about the Indian tribes who owned slaves, even after the end of the Civil war?

@@michaelross1614 we are talking about America. The others can wait.

I’ll pay each and every one of you to leave and to never again come back.

​@@antwaino7318 what about black femicide?

This is different, not the same thing

Your comment explains why you’re having trouble

not our problem sorry!

Depends on the casualties shitburg!

Absolutely agreed.

lol do you charge of the child of a rape with the crimes of the father? No. Reparations is just an attempt to extort by a group that didn’t experience that treatment from people that didn’t commit it.

Andrew Johnson, southern Confederate, former slave holder! Hater of those he formerly enslaved, wanted to re-enslave them!

Bye Guadalupe you won’t be missed. Take care 🎉

You said free stuff four hundred years of free labor that's right

why are you ok with them stealing from us butbwe can't steal from them? that's not equality.

Fake Black or sell out!

@@beulahokonkwo Non-victim. Do NOT want any handout from the white man.

do you think that they would have had need for you to come here if slavery never happened?

If u moved to Germany ur tax dollars would be going to Jewish ppl even tho u had nothing to do with anything. Think of it as buying a house with a lien. Don't Wana pay the lien don't buy the house.

@@antwaino7318 they know all this. they just don't want to help black people. most of these people objecting have stock in companies that would collapse if they did not have us as cheap labor. paying us crumbs keep this economy going. these people are literally fighting to keep the last vestages of slavery alive.

@@antwaino7318gather them!

Your family benefitted from the slaves work. How can you be this dense? smh

We were not responsible for migrants. We're not responsible for Afghans. We're not responsible for ukraine but they all got paid millions.

Migrants funding is a slap in our face

Israel and Ukraine are given money because of lobbying and/or because it benefits the US geopolitically, they aren't reps. From what I can tell, the reps for Japanese Americans went to the actual surviving internment victims. In the same way the survivors of the Tuskegee experiments were given reparations directly, not their descendants. None of these things are the same as what this video proposes.

Are u Jamaican or Haitian?

just because your family are losers doesn't mean we all have to be. white people are in first place. if you are poor it's cuz yall made bad choices. Black people did choose to be put in ghettos. they didn't make it illegal for then to read. some people need help and you do it because it's the right thing to do. you simply want to never help black people and that's unrealistic. we help immigrants cone here daily but you won't help the poorest Americans your community robbed and took everything from? perhaps you like slavery...

Ma'am that's a weak argument. That's an anecdote and they're talking stats. Also ur ppl were not held back from creating generational wealth. If ur grand parents and parents failed to pass u down something, they failed u thru no fault of ur own.

Your mom didn’t go through what my ancestors when through. Go cry your immigrant tears elsewhere

​@@Billiepippen Why should I give you anything get a fucking job and stop begging!

@@antwaino7318 Your people aren't held back either! It is the choices you make!

Amen🙏

You’re a clown and where are you from to be so ignorant? Reparations are a debt unpaid. The homestead act was free land handed to whites the welfare babies… the level in which you peasants attempt to bend history in your favor is laughable when u know the truth… the fucking squatters of the planet complaining about being evicted. At this point go back to the cave.

"Informal slavery"? 😂😂😂😂

13/50😊

I don’t need to watch a bunch of democratic propaganda to call bull shyt !!! We all had it hard but came up by are own boots straps not begging for handouts.

@@ZapataE when, in the history of America and the United States has your family been used as chattel for profit as well as mass genocide followed by years of systematic racism, inequality and continued genocide? You do realize the Democratic Party are the ones who didn’t want us to succeed?

@@ZapataE sorry to break it to you but the republicans freed the slaves

🤣🤣🤣

Unfortunately that wasn’t the experience for ALL black Americans. In addition, most BA worked beyond hard and the history proves that. Unfortunately, we’re the only community as a whole that’s been targeted. So when the checks and perks are given, you be sure to keep that same energy.

You have to continue the hard work on his behalf and search to find out what has your familys' name on it.

they already got it

They got theirs already

Yea for ukraine and israel and illegals. And ur ppl in them poor red states.

you mean inheritance. my taxes pay for my own welfare. you get paid for nothing besides being related to older criminals.

Yea why are we paying illegals? Please explain

Get your hand out of my pockets.

Did you watch the video?

@@theowner5052no one watching this propaganda 😂 Reparations ain’t never happening as the Mexicans that make up 40% of the state are never voting for it.

Isaiah 14:21 Caucasians aka EDOMITES SEED of ESAU JUDGEMENT IN THE BIBLE IT IS WRITTEN PROPHECY TO BE FULLFILLED BUT STILL IN THE END GOD WILL CHOSE ISRAEL FOR SALVATION

You clearly don't know that was a conversation amongst Israelites to keep the commandments? Understand context otherwise explain this... Isaiah 14:21 “Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.” Song of Solomon 1:5 “I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.” Revelation 2:9 “I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.” Revelation 13:10 “He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.”

Then I guess this moronic for all the other people that receive reparations, Native Americans, Japanese and Many more. What are you so upset about? It's just talk. It probably will never happened, relax.

That's right! These ppl today don't even know what work is anymore with all t he welfare checks they've received at our expense! This is bullshiite! Plain and simple! It's not our fault they were born here!

Black people hate each other more than anyone. Stop blaming others for your shyt and fix things for yourself for once .

Education is not what they're looking for they just don't simply care. PERIOD

Less racism if you just go about your business. Scream in people's faces means more "racism"

@@LibertyOrBust this doesn’t make sense what are you trying to say? Do you care to elaborate or make yourself clear?

This was very composed and well put together. I agree. Education is key. The information is out there you just have to care enough to put it in schools or to seek it out individually. There has been a historical lack of concern with the “black”/indigenous position or experience in America however which is sad. change would be nice🤞🏾,but how wise would it be of us to sit around waiting for compassion and concern from people who historically NEVER CARED about us or much anything other than power and money lol… even white people will tell you they’re evil. Look at the comments. We just have to learn and grow. We know who we are dealing with. Any white people who don’t want to be evil anymore you’re more than welcome repent and come home, but u might have to pick a lil cotton 🤣🤣 since that 💩 is all jokey jokes now let’s put yal in the field and see how u like it 😏

😂

Lol
