The state of California has a fraudulent scheme for reparations that would result in Michael Jackson's children receiving monetary compensation.

AB 3121 was passed by the California legislature in 2020, establishing a group of nine individuals to investigate California's involvement in slavery. The task force is also empowered to provide suggestions to the state legislature regarding reparations or payments.
Although it is possible to demonstrate the questionable hypothesis that the current economic condition of Black people is a consequence of America's history of slavery, California is not the primary or secondary location to address this issue.
The Constitution of California has prohibited slavery since it became a state in 1850, and it did not provide any support to the Confederacy during the Civil War.
Although California did not support slavery in the past, it is now open to considering negative concepts.
Instead of addressing the issues of California's underperforming public schools that have affected both poor Black and white communities, as well as the state's anti-business regulations that hinder the upward mobility of its impoverished residents, the state's elites have chosen to divert the attention of disadvantaged voters by promoting the idea of reparations.
The outcome of this risky scheme will not bring any advantages to Black people in California, just like how the usual targets of the Nigerian Prince email fraud do not benefit from it.
The Reparations Task Force in California is proposing to grant a state agency the authority to veto local real estate decisions, while also committing to provide reparations to almost 80% of the state's 2.6 million Black residents.
The objective cannot be accomplished by the task force, regardless of its legality, which it currently lacks.
Initially, the calculations do not add up.
If every Black person in California who is qualified to receive reparations were to be given $1000, the total cost to the state would be more than $2 billion.
However, the amount of compensation offered would not be sufficient to match the exaggerated demands of those advocating for reparations based on race.
The amount of $1,000 would be insignificant compared to the injuries that they allege black people have experienced in California.
The task force has made an estimation of the injury suffered by Black residents who have lived in California their whole lives, using calculations that are unreliable and would not be considered acceptable in junior high school. They claim that the injury would be equivalent to $100,000 for each year of residency in the state.
If reparations were to be paid for a single year based on this criterion, the state would be responsible for $200 billion, which is a significant portion of the $300 billion state budget in 2022.
The average age of African Americans in California is 36.5 years old.
If you consider that the payouts for median age are almost one trillion, then...
There is no situation in which this will happen.
The task force has decided that only individuals who are descendants of slavery and are Black are eligible to receive payments.
Individuals who were not born in the United States.
Are there any exceptions to those who are not eligible? However, should everyone else be considered eligible? For instance, what about Michael Jackson's children? Is it appropriate for his eldest son, Michael "Prince" Joseph Jackson Jr., to be eligible?
If he were to receive a payment, he could potentially be entitled to a sum of five hundred thousand dollars based on the calculations provided by the reparations task force's online calculator.
Despite the absence of any proof that he has experienced prejudice due to his father's race, this remains the case.
His siblings also share the same truth.
The task force would give the three individuals a sum of money exceeding one million dollars.
The task force has not established any eligibility criteria except for race.
The task force claims that every black person who is a descendant of slavery has been harmed, but they do not provide any proof to support their assertion.
According to the task force, simply being of black ethnicity is enough to receive a payment.
The question arises about the identity of Black. Is it up to the recipients to identify themselves as Black? Will California bring back the discriminatory "one drop rule" and consider anyone with Black ancestry as Black? Or will they use visual inspection like in the Plessy v Ferguson case to determine one's race? Alternatively, will DNA samples be required to prove one's heritage? Whatever method California chooses, it comes with potential risks.
Over the past century, due to the diverse nature of the country, black Americans have increasingly married individuals from different racial backgrounds. As a result, not all of the offspring from these unions identify solely as black.
The number of Americans who identify as something other than black is growing, indicating that the idea of forcing people to only identify as black is not practical.
The objectives of the task force are ultimately against the law.
The courts are doubtful of any attempt to implement a public policy that primarily uses race to either provide an advantage or disadvantage.
At one point, the legal system enforced the concept of "separate but equal."
However, that decision was reversed and presently, following a series of judgments that began with Brown v. Board of Education, it stands.
The Board of Education faces intense scrutiny even for policies that are based on race, even if they are not very significant.
To achieve success, claimants need to provide proof of their injury and the degree of its impact.
They are required to pinpoint the exact individual or group that has caused harm to them.
The courts do not permit individuals to attribute their harm to an undefined group of people, and it is not acceptable for a claimant to use their poverty as evidence of harm.
This entire process needs to take place within a legal court.
If the conditions for making claims exist, Black Americans can pursue them without any hindrance. However, the reparations scam is appealing because these conditions are impossible to fulfill. Click here to access the Fox News app.
The plan for reparations in California is unlikely to ever be put into action.
The intention of this scheme is similar to the Nigerian prince email in that it does not aim to benefit anyone except for those promoting it. Instead, it relies on exploiting greed, creating division, and instilling fear in Black voters to make them disregard their own power and blindly support the individuals behind the fraudulent activity.
The idea of a Nigerian prince offering a million-dollar payout is false and should not be believed.
