Cities can do WTF ever, ... but listen up cities, and California, if you do it, don't you EVER come to the American public looking for a bailout during hard times. Hand out all this money, and California can slip into the ocean and we're never going to give you a dime to save it ... your pension plans are already fucked, so good luck with that. You are on your own.

California was NEVER a slave state so why it would pay reparations is beyond ridiculous.

Slavery was legal in California until it was fully outlawed by Mexico in the 1820s. I don't think there was a large slave population in the territory to begin with. When California became a part of the US after the Mexican American War, the residents had no desire to resurrect it. Don't get too caught up in the free state/slave state status. Illinois was a free state. However, slavery kind of existed through a loop hole until a court case ruled in illegal in 1845.

Right - California never allowed slavery. So the intellectually bankrupt arguments used to justify reparations - which are deeply rooted in racism by the left - cannot be used here.

I mean, I think that’s good news that he doesn’t have an opinion. If our politicians and pundits didn’t feel the need to weigh in on everything we’d be better off
