What's the documentation for proof of ancestry to show they are decedents of American slaves? If someone who's grandparents immigrated here from Africa post our slavery era were to get it, that would be interesting, since many of us whiteys are descendants of slaves on the European continent and should thus also be entitled.
Nevertheless, as long as it's just California, they can make it $1million per person and no ID required for all I care. In fact I would encourage pro-reparations blacks from all over the country to move to California and to take advantage of the program.
