California Reparations Task Force Floats $223,000 Housing-Discrimination Payment for Black Residents

From National Review:

The California Reparations Task Force, a nine-member panel appointed by Governor Gavin Newsom, projects that Black state residents could be eligible for as much as $223,200 per person as part of an effort to redress historical housing discrimination.

Nearly 7 percent of Californians are expected to qualify for reparations, which suggests the housing-discrimination allotment would amount to approximately $569 billion statewide.
