This is Handel on the Law, Marginal Legal Advice, where I tell you you have absolutely no case.

There is California, of course, being California. How unusual. I live in California, and it really is a land of fruit and twigs and nuts.

And yes, tofu turkey for Thanksgiving every year. Yeah, yeah.

In the meantime, California really is at the forefront of whether wokeism

crazy talk or progressive uh policies depending on how you look at it so there has been a movement

uh for years now paying reparations to af Americans descended from slavery.

If somehow you can, if you're African American,

peg your descent to some great, great, great, great, great grandfather who was a slave,

then reparations should be paid to you.

And frankly, I thought it was, I thought it was a joke.

I go, what does that have to do with anything?

Now, granted, if you're the son of a slave, if you were a slave, I can get it.

I get reparations.

I understand that.

For example, the United States has paid reparations to the Japanese Americans who were interred during World War II.

Reparations were paid because the Japanese were, Japanese Americans were treated abysmally.

Property taken from them where it had to sell at fire sale prices and interred for years at these camps, Manzanar, other camps throughout the Western United States.

Well, those folks got reparations, as they should have, because they were the ones that suffered the discrimination and suffered, actually, I will say outright, the criminal acts of the United States.

FDR, as a matter of fact he allowed this it was a federal law and Earl Warren who was the governor of the state of

California at that time who by the way is if you look at the history of the Supreme Court

the Warren court considered the most liberal court in the history of the United States.

Well, he signed the order. He's the one that executed it. So there's a little bit of a shame.
