Sets up a task force to look at ways in which the state can give reparations for past acts of racism to African-American people who live in the state.

Directs the task force to study and develop proposals for financial and nonfinancial reparations for Oregonians of African-American descent, develop appropriate methods for educating the public about the task force’s findings and recommend appropriate remedies based on the task force’s findings. Sunsets December 31, 2026. Takes effect on the 91st day following adjournment sine die.

Reparation is the worst type of socialism. African-Americans are not the only people that endured slavery. It was African people that captured their own and put them on ships. Why not sue the African government? America was not the instigators. Paying a class of people that didn’t experience slavery by taxpayers that had nothing to do with slavery is robbery.
