The official reparations task force in California, which entered the union as a free state in 1850,

has finally figured out how much money the state owes black people for slavery, which it never even for one second condoned.

The number is at least $1.2 million for each black resident.

That is the conservative estimate that the economist's advising the panel came up with.

$1.2 million for each of the two and a quarter million black residents of California, which means that California intends to give

$2.7 trillion to black people simply for being black.

The real number would likely be much higher though, not only because the $1.2 million number is a conservative estimate,

but also because one suspects the total number of payees will increase substantially when people realize that they can make seven figures

by moving to California and by stretching their DNA to the limits to identify as black.

The annual budget for the state of California is $297 billion, which means that the reparations pay out alone would total more than nine times the state's entire budget,

which would seem to be a problem even in the best of times, but it's especially a problem now as California is currently running a $22.5 billion budget deficit.

Today, California needs to find $22.5 billion a year just to break even.

If it wants to pay reparations for slavery, which it never condoned, to people who were never slaves,

it will need to come up with a little under 121 times that amount.

Now, since, as we have said, California never actually had slavery, the reparations committee has had to come up with other reasons as to why the state needs to spend almost a decade's worth of its entire budget paying off random black people.
