'San Fransicko' author Michael Shellenberger says Martin Luther King is 'rolling around in his grave' on 'Jesse Watters Primetime.'is facing increased pressure to use his authority to unilaterally enact proposals that would dole out billions of dollars to Black residents in reparations as a way to make amends for slavery if the state legislature doesn't act.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom pauses during a news conference after touring Barron Park Elementary School on March 2, 2021 in Palo Alto, California."The task force is doing the grunt work of preparing final recommendations, but at the end of the day these recommendations are non-binding and still require uncompromising political will to enact remedies that will begin to address centuries of compounded harm," Dreisen Heath told Fox News Digital.
"We know that Black Californians have not only endured economic damage, but also psychological, emotional, and political harms too, and thus additional compensation and targeted remedies must be developed if this is to be considered a true reparations program," said Heath, who currently works for the advocacy group Where Is My Land."Final recommendations should include a full calculation of these cumulative harms.".
Another idea under consideration is a"comprehensive debt forgiveness" program that would clear all personal, educational and credit card debt of low-income Black households. , making it unclear how the city would pay for such a reparations plan.
