Black Californians are owed $800 billion for reparations due to generations of over-policing, disproportionate incarceration and housing discrimination, according to economists who are working with the state panel considering the payments.
A previous model, announced earlier this month, estimated that $640 billion would be due in payments to black residents in the Golden State.
In their report, the consultants suggest the state task force ‘err on the side of generosity’ and consider a down-payment with more money to come as more evidence becomes available.
