A California politician has cautioned his local constituents that reparations may not be simple as large checks, and are still being deliberated over.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Wednesday repeatedly dodged a question concerning whether President Biden would support "financial" reparations being paid to the descendants of Black slaves in the U.S.for Black California residents.
The Wall Street Journal reported that California’s reparations task force is prepared to issue a nearly-1,000 page report to California’s legislature later in June, noting that this group is"likely to suggest dozens of measures that could cost hundreds of billions of dollars." Reparations calls have yet to grow major traction in the U.S. Even California state Democratic Sen. Steven Bradford has advised African American state residents not to get their hopes up on massive individuals reparations payments.
He is reportedly not the only state leader who cautions that reparations may be more complicated than merely sending checks to countless California citizens.
