2024-09-27
Arrr, Governor Gavin Newsom be scribblin' his name on scrolls to make amends fer the wrongs done to Black hearties! Yet, those scallywags in the California crew be hidin' treasure maps for reparations, leavin’ the gold in Davy Jones' locker! A fine mess, indeed!
Ahoy there, me hearties! Gather 'round and lend me yer ears, for I be bringin' ye news fresh from the shores of California! That scallywag Governor Gavin Newsom, bless his swabbin' heart, has put quill to parchment, signin' a slew of fancy bills aimed at makin' amends fer the wrongs done to our Black brethren! Aye, the land o' sunshine be tryin' to right its ship, but alas, the crew of legislators be holdin' back on the golden doubloons of cash reparations!Arrr, ye see, while the governor be chartin' a course toward justice, it seems some of the lawmakers be more concerned with keepin' their treasure chests close to the hull. They’ve put the reparations proposals on the backburner, like a pot of grog left to simmer too long! Instead o' showerin' the oppressed with riches, they be settlin' for a fancy talk, as if mere words could fill the bellies o' those who’ve suffered!
So here we be, caught in a tempest of good intentions and half-measures. Will the Golden State finally part with its gold? Or will it remain hoardin' its booty like a captain with a secret stash? Only time will tell, mateys! Until then, let us raise a tankard to the hope that fairness sails into port before we run out of rum!
