Just Saying
By Raul Hernandez
This is going to be a nightmare.
If reparations are given, include Native Americans, Mexican Americans, Chinese, Japanese, and a host of other races.
Once the floodgates are open, the population of the State of California will increase, and hundreds of thousands of people will argue that their ancestors were black.
How do you begin to estimate damages and who committed the injustices?
The courts are going to be inundated with lawsuits.
I don’t want my taxes to right wrongs done to various races hundreds of years ago.
