Summary
Dr. Wilfred Reilly—Professor of Political Science at Kentucky State University & Author of “Taboo: 10 Facts You Can’t Talk About”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his most recent editorial on National Review, “California’s Reparations Proposals Are a Mess.” Dr. Reilly writes, a “panel in San Francisco has recommended cash or check payments of $5 million to every eligible black city resident…Given that no living black Americans were ever slaves, and few Californians are survivors of pre-1954 Southern Jim Crow, any coherent argument for reparations rests simply on the claim that black people would be $(X) better off absent the course of history—and so are owed $(X) amount of money. However, the practical problem with any figure like ‘$5,000,000’ is that the entire median wealth gap between blacks and whites—at the multiple-person household level—is well under $200,000.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/2023/04/californias-reparations-proposals-are-a-mess/
