Five economists will decide how much Californians pay in reparations

The five economists who will determine just how much the state will pay black Californians for historic injustices include a professor who has called for nationwide reparations of up to $14 trillion.

Other members of the expert panel advising on what they believe would be a fair amount repaid to the descendants of racial discrimination have said there is no such thing as a black middle class and argued that the plight of Native Americans is 'irrelevant.'

professors William Spriggs, Thomas Craemer, Kaycea Campbell, William A 'Sandy' Darity Jr and his wife, lecturer Kirstin Mullen, are charged with quantifying the past economic injustices African Americans faced and determining how much compensation black Californians should receive for those crimes.
