Nearly 60% of California voters oppose reparation payments for Black residents

Published Wed, 27 Nov 2024 07:10:45 GMT

Over the last few years, the idea of reparations — which would compensate the descendants of American slaves — has surfaced across the country. Though a state task force recently recommended making cash reparations a reality in California, voters in the Golden State oppose doing so by a roughly two-to-one margin, according to a new poll from the Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies.“The findings reveal the racial and political contradictions of California voters,” Cristina Mora, co-director of the institute, said in a statement. “While many can empathize with the plight of Black Americans, not all of these feelings will translate into support for policies that address longstanding racial harms. And though this might be an information issue for some groups, the fact that even liberals are divided indicates that campaigns for racial redress will face a steep uphill climb.”The poll found that 43% of Democrats favor the idea, while 42% oppose cash reparatio...

(CNN) — Si estás pensando en comprar un automóvil nuevo, es posible que estés atento a las noticias sobre una posible huelga del sindicato United Auto Workers (UAW). Y sí, según los expertos, podría haber serios inconvenientes para quienes compren determinados modelos de automóviles, camiones o SUV, al menos a largo plazo.Pero no hay una respuesta universal a lo que debe hacer un comprador de autos. Depende del vehículo que esté comprando y de su propio nivel de flexibilidad en la elección.

MARSEILLE, France (AP) — South Africa put the squeeze on a brave Scotland, scoring two tries early in the second half to break open a close game and win 18-3 to start its Rugby World Cup title defense on Sunday.The Springboks showed both sides of their game at Stade Velodrome where flanker Pieter-Steph du Toit bashed his way over in the 46th minute and winger Kurt-Lee Arendse flew onto a perfect cross-kick from flyhalf Manie Libbok three minutes later to make a narrow 6-3 lead at halftime suddenly comfortable.There were no more points as South Africa closed it down in the last half-hour, using a set-piece dominance it ultimately gained and physical, rushing defense to keep the game Scots at bay.That forward dominance for the world champion wasn’t guaranteed, though, especially after Scotland held its own early in the scrum battle and even shunted the daunted Boks pack back on their own put-in to set up Finn Russell’s long-range penalty and Scotland’s only points on...
