"California's Groundbreaking Steps Toward Reparations for Black Americans"

Calls for reparations for black Americans are facing intense opposition, with Cori Bush's $14 trillion federal compensation package dead in the water and Detroit's reparations task force in disarray. California's black lawmakers have backtracked on plans to pay $1.2 million to each resident, opting instead for non-cash measures. Public support for reparations has waned, with critics citing lack of framework, potential divisions, and opposition from non-black taxpayers. Some activists are now looking to the UN for a global reparations tribunal, while others acknowledge the lack of public support for large-scale compensation packages.
