I just watched the Emend The Mass Media Group video of the April 22nd CA State Senate Judiciary hearing on SB 518 / SB 437 (the “Descendant” reparations bills), and it’s infuriating. You’ll notice a glaring pattern: people in favor of reparations were given uninterrupted time to present, while opponents were repeatedly cut short, shut down, or drowned out. That’s not fair debate — it’s political theater.

Key Critical Angles & Moments to Emphasize

After many generations and migration, proving direct descent is extremely difficult. Requiring that as a condition for benefits will disenfranchise many legitimate claimants.

To prove lineage, your genealogy, possibly genetic data, might be collected by a state bureau inside the DOJ. That’s sensitive information tied to law enforcement bodies. Risks of abuse or leaks are real.

Since the bill is contingent on appropriation, the legislature can stall it or underfund it, turning the promise into a perpetual empty gesture.

California already has Proposition 209 (banning race-based preferences). Repair measures that use race or ancestry may conflict with state constitutional rules.

Benefits based solely on ancestry risk being viewed as unfair to those who suffer or worked hard without being descendants. Reparations can be divisive.

California often leads with progressive policies, but it’s also burdened with large debts, housing crises, high taxes, and public pension liabilities. Priorities matter. When you promise reparations, where do you get the funding?

The fact that Newsom signed SB 518 but vetoed more tangible benefit bills shows the tension between symbolism and deliverable policy.

Rather than expensive, divisive reparations, focus on structural improvements: education access, job creation, criminal justice reform, equal opportunity policies, safety nets.
