California has taken a historic step by formally apologizing for its role in slavery and its lasting effects on Black Americans. This apology comes alongside other legislation aimed at addressing racial disparities, including protections against hair discrimination for athletes, increased oversight of book bans in state prisons, and funding for reparations initiatives. However, some advocates are disappointed by the lack of direct payments to Black Californians.

Pastor Corey Brooks, founder of Project H.O.O.D., argues that Democrats are exploiting Black Americans by claiming to fight racism while simultaneously supporting policies that he believes harm the Black community. He cites the vetoed California bill offering housing loans to illegal immigrants and the lack of progress on issues like education and violence in Black neighborhoods as examples of this hypocrisy.
