| Let's talk about reparations here because in California there's a new proposal that keeps expanding that would pay an estimated 800 billion dollars to black people in California. | |
| Now, remember that California was never a slave state and that no one living today who might receive these funds was ever themselves a slave, nor has any California white person or taxpayer ever owned slaves, right? | |
| So there's a big legitimate question, which is like, what are these reparations really supposed to be addressing? | |
| And there are many other questions such as, well, These dollars are going to become worthless, especially if you keep printing them to hand them out to people. | |
| So what happens if you give $800 billion to black people in California? | |
| I guess at some point the Fed would have to print that money, right? | |
| And then the money becomes worthless. | |
| Then has anybody really been made whole by being given worthless dollars? | |
| No, of course not. | |
| And even if they paid $800 billion to all black people in California, would that then nullify the race card forever? | |
| Would the condition be, okay, these are the reparations forevermore. | |
| No one can ever claim A lack of equity or a lack of equality. | |
| There shall be no more victimhood among people of color. | |
| Would that happen? | |
| And the answer is, of course, no. | |
| No, it wouldn't end the appeals for something more. | |
| No matter how much you gave away, it would not end the appeals. | |
| But the far bigger question is, isn't the $800 billion... | |
| Not enough. | |
| And the audience, the recipients, they are far too small a group. | |
| Because in fact, every person living today is a descendant of some injustice either carried out by their ancestors or carried out against their ancestors. | |
| Every single person living today has in their family tree a murderer probably. | |
| Or someone who was a victim of a crime, perhaps not a race-based crime, perhaps a crime of rape. | |
| In fact, a whole lot of offspring in the world today, I mean, people living today, are descendants of Genghis Khan, by the way. | |
| Mad rapists. | |
| You know, making war across modern-day China and other regions of Asia, raping and pillaging and impregnating women, and then, well, some massive portion of people in Asia today, I forgot the exact number, but I think it was 30 to 40 percent, are descendants of one man. | |
| That number may be wrong. | |
| I'm just going off memory, but it's some crazy percentage. | |
| You can look it up. | |
| They're descendants of one man who was a mad rapist. | |
| So if you're a descendant of a rapist, aren't you also a descendant of a woman who was raped? | |
| So that means that the people living today in Asia, or some large percentage of them, are both descendants of victims of rape and descendants of perpetrators of rape. | |
| So maybe we should have rape orations for all those people, but then Do you give them money or do you take money from them? | |
| Because they're descendants of ancestors who both carried out rape and were raped. | |
| And in a similar light, lots of black people living in California today are descendants of slave owners. | |
| Not just slaves, but slave owners. | |
| So if there was a slave owner, and by the way, some slave owners were people of color or slave owners in modern-day Brazil. | |
| I mean, not modern slave owners, but the country now known as Brazil had slave owners, people of color in the past. | |
| And in many other regions of the world, the slave owners haven't always been white. | |
| There are black slave owners throughout history, and there were white slaves. | |
| Indentured servitude in America. | |
| There were white slaves in America who were brought to America from European countries such as Ireland, for example, and who were effectively slaves working in slave conditions to try to pay off the cost of their transport. | |
| It was called indentured servitude, and they were slaves of a farm or a plantation for a number of years before they, quote, earned their freedom, and it was often a trap where you could never quite earn your way out. | |
| Those were slaves and they were people with white skin or fair skin. | |
| They were Caucasians. | |
| So, number one, if you're going to compensate all people who have been victims of slavery or rape or murder, but especially slavery, you have to include more than just black people. | |
| So are there white people in California who are descendants of slaves? | |
| Or are there black people in California who are descendants of slave owners? | |
| And the answer to both of those questions is a resounding yes. | |
| Resounding yes. | |
| So if they're going to compensate people who are descendants of slaves, how could you limit it just by skin color? | |
| You would have to allow everyone, including white people who were descendants of slaves, Right? | |
| In order to apply for the reparations. | |
| It can't be just color only because that would be discrimination, which is what this whole thing is supposed to stand against. | |
| Correct? | |
| But the far bigger question in all of this is, is it really right in society today to give people money or to take money from people based on the behavior of their ancestors? | |
| Because the people that you're taking money from, that you're confiscating from in order to pay this, those people may not have committed any such sins of slavery or rape or murder. | |
| When did we adopt ancestral crime lineage as an operating principle in society? | |
| Because that is a very dangerous principle and if you decide to go down that road, well then potentially every person Living in the world today could be held accountable to some degree to the behaviors of their ancestors. | |
| And how far back are you going to go? | |
| Because again, if you go back far enough, well, we all came from about 4,000 surviving humans who, by the way, were all Africans. | |
| Every one of us is African if you go back far enough in our ancestry. | |
| Correct? | |
| I mean, that's what mainstream science says. | |
| That's what the anthropological record says. | |
| Which means that there must be – between that day and now, hundreds of thousands of years according to the traditional mainstream science record, there have been thousands of generations of ancestors for all of us. | |
| Are we to account for the actions and behaviors of all those thousands of parents and grandparents and great-grandparents and great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandparents a thousand times over? | |
| Are we responsible for all their behavior? | |
| And of course the answer is no. | |
| We are not responsible for their behavior. | |
| We are responsible for our own behavior. | |
| And thus, Given that no person living in California today has been a slave, and no person living in California today has ever owned slaves, paying reparations to people living there today is an absurd exercise in some weird twisted combination of virtue signaling and fiscal insanity. | |
| These are not sound principles upon which to base your society. | |
| And if $800 billion were somehow paid to people in California, the government would be utterly broke. | |
| The state would collapse into financial insolvency. | |
| All government workers would have to be fired, which perhaps wouldn't be a bad thing, but that's about 40% of the state. | |
| Or at least of the working age people. | |
| So you'd have a collapse of about 40% of the economy immediately, followed by total mayhem and chaos, lawlessness, basically Mad Max. | |
| Would that be justice then? | |
| To collapse your society into a Mad Max scenario where everybody loses and everybody dies and everybody has to flee if they want to survive? | |
| Is that equity? | |
| Well, according to the left, it is. | |
| Equity means that everyone suffers the same. | |
| That's what the left is calling for. | |
| Massive human suffering on an epic scale. | |
| Oh, in the name of reparations. | |
| So, how about this? | |
| I have a better idea. | |
| How about we just stop taking money from everybody today? | |
| Stop taxation because taxation is theft. | |
| Let black people, white people, all people keep the money they earn. | |
| And stop printing money, which is a form of theft. | |
| And then we will all prosper. | |
| We will all do well under that system. | |
| We don't need reparations. | |
| We need to stop government taxation and theft and money printing. | |
| And that's the best way to repair the future for our society. | |
| At least those are my thoughts on the subject. | |
