The controversial California Reparations Task Force has recently made a bold appeal to the state’s Democratic-led legislature, demanding the abolition of child support debt exclusively for the state’s Black residents.
The Task Force argues this move is a necessary countermeasure to the oppressive national laws that, in their view, have stunted the growth of the African American community and fractured their families.
In an extensive 1,100-page report released last week, the Task Force presented calculations that could translate into potentially hundreds of billions of dollars in payouts. As alarming as the statistics may seem about the demographic distribution of child support debt, and the fact that Black Californians bear a disproportionately large percentage of it, there are glaring issues with this proposed solution.
The Task Force boldly claims that so-called ‘discriminatory’ laws have torn African American families apart and caused damage due to the “disproportionate amount of African Americans burdened with child support debt.”
