The task force will inform Californians about slavery and explore ways the state might provide reparations.
Its members will meet over the next year and conclude their work with a written report on their findings, along with recommendations which will be provided to the Legislature.
The nine-member task force was created in a bill by then-Assemblywoman Shirley Weber, D-San Diego, now California’s secretary of state.
The bill creating the task force required one of its members to be from academia with expertise in civil rights, a requirement filled by Grills’ appointment.
Two additional members of the task force will be appointed by the state Senate and two others by the Assembly.

They got Obama. What more do they want? Oh yeah, free money. Well hell, if they got their reperations then maybe I can finally go to stores without dealing with black employees with crappy and controlling attitudes that are out of touch with their job and customers. Maybe affirmative action wont get shoved down business owners throats. And speaking of which, those that point at their skin and say “gimmie gimmie” wont ever do that for an essential job that requires physical labor. Why? Laziness. Pure Laziness. Unless they’re using that physical labor to run fast as hell away from the cops or after stealing from someone, or being inspired to be a pro athlete, or a security gaurd for a pro athlete, they dont want to be buckled down to a job that requires labor and they want to blame everyone and everything. Where would the reperations come from anyway? American taxpayer dollars? Ha! Go to hell. What about reperations for other races. Do they even know what the holocaust is? Even if they did, they wouldnt care because of their selfish and demanding egos. Black people aren’t gonna put Americans on lockdown to cater to their laziness and bad habbits. They can use all the excuses in the book from being slaves of the white man, to being victims of police brutality, to being unedumacated, to being the twelfth tribe of buddha with a missing god or twelve street hoodlums with missing daddies elsewhere making other babies. Their action are inexcusable and yet excusex after excuses. To hell with reperations! They can complain all day about there miserable jobs that a starving and struggling person wish they had. Black Lazy Thugs Lives dont Matter. American Lives Matter. They should go to Africa and demand reperations over there and quit giving viable Black Americans a bad name. Lazy Lives Shouldn’t Matter.
No sympathy for whiners says
I’ve seen some ridiculous things in my time, but this outrageous “slavery/reparations” committee is an absolute joke. How embarrassing it must be for the board members on this atrocious task force. Oh wait, they have no shame. Anything for free money.
Ron says
So what does Slavery have to do with today? That has nothing to do with them walking around in saggy pants. Stealing cars, selling drugs, mass shootings in Chicago killing 3 year olds. Running around with guns, getting chased by the cops .Slavery has nothing to do with them today having babies out of wedlock and dropping outof school and comitting crimes. Slavery in the Past has nothing to do with todays problems. Todays problems are Bad behavior and lifestyle and Lawlessness.
Ron has a decision to make says
Oh, Ron Don’t be so hard on yourself. You can’t help the family you got, the friends you have and the mind you were born with. It’s hopeless.
