Can I Demand Reparations From Italians for Roman Oppression of My Ancestors?

 12/1/22 Daily Mail:

A reparations committee in California has suggested that descendants of slaves in the state could be compensated $223,200 each for 'housing discrimination'.

The nine-member Reparations Task Force was formed by California Governor Gavin Newsom as part of the country's largest ever effort to address reparations for slavery.

A focus of the California task force has been 'housing discrimination' - it has been estimated that it would cost around $569billion to compensate the 2.5 million Black Californians for setbacks between 1933 and 1977, according to the New York Times

  2. What surprises me about the reparations issue is that no public official, no academic, no one (except a few internet commentators) will say that the debt owed for the wrongfulness of slavery was paid in full by the blood of nearly 700,000 Americans who gave their lives in the Civil War. Add to that, the huge financial cost of the war. We owe the descendants of slaves nothing.

  4. We know the Reparations Task Force did their due diligence. Not the easy way out. They carefully reviewed the data from 1933 to 1977and came up with an EXACT number, $223,200.00. Any engineer worth his salt would have murmured, $250,000 sounds about right.

    Top Men, Top Men!
