   “There’s only one thing that will stop our children from busting   
   into these liquor stores. There’s only one thing that will stop our   
   children from bursting into jewelry stores. Reparations.”   
      
      
   Equal opportunity activist Ward Connerly responded to a California   
   board’s claims that offering reparations for Black state residents   
   would not only stimulate the economy, but would also put a damper on   
   crime, telling Fox News’ Will Cain the move is a “bad idea.”   
      
   “Capital, money, reparations… that will stimulate this economy for   
   the 2.6 million Blacks in California,” one speaker said at a   
   Sacramento meeting on Friday.   
      
   “There’s only one thing that would stop our children from busting   
   into these liquor stores; there’s only one thing that would stop our   
   kids from busting into these jewelry stores, stealing watches and   
   jewelry, and that’s reparations,” the speaker continued.   
      
   Proposed payment totals climbed from $220,000 last year to $360,000   
   this year, according to Cain’s Sunday report from “Fox & Friends   
   Weekend.”   
      
   “I think it’s a bad idea. I’m not going to form a committee or   
   anything to oppose it because of many considerations. I respect the   
   perspective that the proponents of this goofy idea have,” Connerly   
   said of the reparations proposal during Sunday’s show.   
      
   Connerly, founder and chairman of the American Civil Rights   
   Institute, said he was born in the Deep South in Leesville,   
   Louisiana, and has suffered “some of the humiliations of race.”   
      
   Still, now living as a California resident, he considers reparations   
   for descendants of slavery to be a bad idea.   
      
   “Our founders told us this was a less-than-perfect union, and we   
   wanted to make it a more perfect union… we know that we have some   
   problems in the country, and we’re working through them. Those   
   problems relate to a lot of identities,” he said.   
      
   “What about women?” he asked later, pointing to historical attempts   
   to prevent them from making progress. “People based on sexual   
   orientation, some argue, fits into that category. How about   
   immigrants? Recent immigrants? Bad idea.”   
      
   Connerly said, by his own estimates, claims that five million people   
   would qualify for the proposed reparations are overreaching, adding   
   that, unless enacting reparations triggered a mass influx of   
   newcomers, he believes only half of the estimated number would   
   qualify.   
      
      
   Our nation is held hostage by black crime in 2023, and we are told a   
   failure to pay reparations will only see black crime proliferate.   
      
   This nightmare only ends when White America says, “no.”
