On proposed legislation on Reparation in California to African Americans. Reparations are usually associated with slavery or in the case of Germany, death camps.
First, California was not a slave state. Second African Americans may have not or have been descendants of slaves but have had 160 years to work for compensation.

The goal is this country help everyone move up.

The issue is culture values. Instead of spending disposable income on consumer items, schools must teach investing in mutual funds, ETF’s even if small amounts. Schools
should suggest trade schools as well as colleges. If anyone deserves reparation in California, it’s native people. The most liberal so-called progressive will not deed their houses to them.

Furthermore, reparation will come from Mexicans, Irish, Italians and 175 other nationalities who arrived in California after civil war. They didn’t own plantations. Even
lenders didn’t redline because of color, rather credit risk.

Let’s help push up our kids to be career motivated. Competition in schools and dads raise kids. See www.pathwaysforkids.org.

Conservative ad true liberalism to me means loving our countr’s free market, free speech, work ethic, It’s structure. Meritocracy with safety nets.
The country has been evolving correctly. By that I mean 55% of law school graduates are now women, for example. In 1966 four out of 200 graduates in my class were.
Same with doctors.
African Americans are half the police forces, fire department in big cities. In 1965 only a few. While some not enough entrepreneurs and corporates. Gays or snickered at in the 60’s. Now they can get married and can come out of closet and be proud.
I can go on and on.
What is unacceptable is burning, looting in cities; This is not a protest. Killing people and letting dangerous lawbreakers out of prison is not right. Canceling conservative speakers at colleges is not acceptable. It will catch up to the “cancelers”.
