Try taking an apology to the bank and see what the teller says, or even the bank president. One thing’s for sure: No apology will directly produce a bank deposit.Thousands of Black Californians knew this when they attended hearings across the state last year aiming to develop an aid package for descendants of slaves who still suffer poverty and other after-effects of bondage. So they responded far more enthusiastically to the possibility of cash reparations than anything else mentioned.
That survey by the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies found 59% of voters against it and just 28% in favor, with a relatively paltry 13% undecided or neutral. Cash reparations, said poll director Mark DiCamillo, have “a steep uphill climb, at least from the public’s point of view.” One reason most Californians look askance at cash reparations is that this state was never a center of slavery. Under pre-Emancipation federal law, slaveowners could bring their human property into free states and keep them enslaved. Similarly, escaped slaves could be tracked down in so-called free states and forced back to their previous owners.
