Treadmilling Black Caucus Chases an Elusive Pot of Gold in CA: New State Agency Created for the Ostensible Purpose of Providing Reparations and the Actual Purpose of Diverting Gullible Black Voters

Five years after California Gov. Gavin Newsom created a task force to study the legacy of enslavement in California, a state agency has been created in order to facilitate restitution for the descendants of those who were enslaved in the state, despite not approving cash payments for the wrongs visited upon their ancestors.

According to Politico, in an episode of Van Latham and Rachel Lindsay’s "Higher Learning," which was released on Oct. 10, the same day Gov. Newsom announced the creation of the agency, he noted that the office is a necessary step to further action concerning reparations.

"I signed a bill two days ago with the Black Caucus as it relates to creating a new office to address these systemic issues," he told the hosts.
