<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tim-scott-torches-the-view-in-iowa-i-scare-the-dickens-out-of-the-radical-left" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sen. Tim Scott</a> (R-SC) admonished &#8220;The View&#8221; on Monday over what he described as &#8220;dangerous, offensive, and disgusting&#8221; messages airing on the show about success among black people being the &#8220;exception and not the rule.&#8221;
During an appearance on ABC talk show, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tim-scott-opens-his-presidential-bid-in-hometown-speech-bashing-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Scott</a> — who recently announced his candidacy for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination — was asked by co-host Sunny Hostin to explain his claim that he doesn&#8217;t believe in &#8220;systemic racism&#8221; as she pressed him to then to define &#8220;systemic racism.&#8221;
&#8220;Let me answer the question that you&#8217;ve asked,&#8221; Scott said.
&#8220;One of the reasons why I&#8217;m on the show is because of the comments that were made frankly on this show that the only way for a young African American kid to be successful in this country is to be the exception and not the rule,&#8221; Scott said.
&#8220;That is a dangerous, offensive, disgusting message to send to our young people today, that the only way to succeed is by being the exception,&#8221; he added.
Hostin interjected and said, &#8220;It is. It&#8217;s been 114 years,&#8221; before Scott disagreed.

&#8220;So, the fact of the matter is we&#8217;ve had an African American president, African American vice president, we&#8217;ve had two African Americans to be secretaries of the state,&#8221; Scott said. &#8220;In my home city, the police chief is an African American who&#8217;s now running for mayor. The head of the highway patrol for South Carolina is an African American.&#8221;
&#8220;In 1975, there was about 15% unemployment in the African American community. For the first time in history of the country, it&#8217;s under 5%,&#8221; he added.
Hostin interrupted Scott once again and claimed that all the examples he provided were &#8220;still exceptions.&#8221; She cited statistics in recent years <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/50-homeless-families-black-government-report-finds/story?id=68433643" target="_blank" rel="noopener">showing</a> African Americans, who make up 13% of the general population in the United States, accounting for 40% of the homeless population.
&#8220;You asked the question,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/my-life-disproves-the-lies-tim-scott-fires-back-at-the-view-over-racially-charged-attacks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Scott</a> replied. &#8220;I&#8217;ve watched you on the show. You like people to be deferential and respectful. So, here&#8217;s what I am going to suggest &#8230; progress in America is palpable. It can be measured in generations. I look back at the fact that my grandfather, born in 1921 in Salley, South Carolina, when he was on a sidewalk, a white person was coming, he had to step off and not make eye contact.&#8221;
&#8220;That man believed then, with some doubt now, in the goodness of America, because he believed that faith in God, faith in himself, and faith in what the future could hold for his kids, would unleash opportunities in ways that you cannot imagine,&#8221; he added.
&#8220;Every kid today can look. Just change the stations and see how much progress has been made in this country,&#8221; Scott continued. &#8220;ABC, NBC, CBS, ESPN, CNN, Fox News all have African-American and Hispanic hosts. So what I&#8217;m suggesting is that yesterday&#8217;s exception is today&#8217;s rule.”

The tweet did not specify a reason for the departure, but did express gratitude to some colleagues.
&#8220;I feel so lucky to have been part of something so special,&#8221; the tweet added, followed by the hashtag &#8220;#LoveWhereYouWorked.&#8221;
The announcement came around the time that news broke that Ella Irwin, the head of Twitter’s trust and safety department, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/twitter-restricts-launch-of-what-is-a-woman-top-company-official-resigns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">had resigned</a> — all while Twitter restricted the launch of The Daily Wire’s hit documentary “What Is A Woman?” on the platform Thursday evening.
As of press time, there was no confirmation that the departures were related in any way, but users quickly began looking through olds posts from Aiyed that showed a history of making comments that are dismissive of white people.

Alyssa Farah Griffin started things off by pointing out that &#8220;it&#8217;s her [Harris] time in office that I take a bit of issue with and having worked for a Vice President you kind of have two jobs: do no harm and try to keep a higher approval rating than your principal. She has not really been able to do either. And I feel like she hasn&#8217;t broken through on major policy accomplishments.&#8221;

&#8220;And she will, fairly or unfairly, be the most scrutinized vice president in history because she&#8217;s running with the oldest president running for president in history,&#8221; she added.
&#8220;And she&#8217;s also a black woman,&#8221; Hostin snapped.
&#8220;But I think you have to be able to fairly critique the Vice President of the United States without just saying it&#8217;s the color of their skin or the fact that she&#8217;s a woman,&#8221; Griffin replied, asking Hostin why she made it about race.
&#8220;Well, we&#8217;re in the United States of America,&#8221; Hostin shot back. &#8220;It&#8217;s not you. It&#8217;s just we&#8217;re in the United States of America.&#8221;
&#8220;And black women — and this is just not me saying it, I mean, there have been studies,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Black women are considered less articulate, they are considered uglier, they are considered all of these things by, you know, this country. And it&#8217;s because of the history, of course, of misogyny and sexism.&#8221;

&#8220;I understand why they are boosting her at this point&#8230; because no Democratic nominee can win the general election without the black vote,&#8221; Hostin said. &#8220;I mean that is just a fact. I think in many respects she probably won that election for him [Biden]. So, black voters saved his campaign in 2020, they could also be why he loses it in 2024.&#8221;
Later in the show, Hostin slammed &#8220;white women&#8221; and said they vote for Republicans because that&#8217;s &#8221; how their husbands are voting.&#8221;

Daily Wire host Matt Walsh blasted the dishonest media&#8217;s obsession with stoking racial division by reporting on a false story about a pregnant hospital worker accused of stealing a black man&#8217;s bike instead of covering the murder of white handyman <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/black-suspects-killed-handyman-because-they-wanted-to-kill-a-white-person-police-detective" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lawrence Herr</a> by two black suspects in Louisiana.
&#8220;The Matt Walsh Show&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1660732545946865667?s=20">podcast host</a> on Monday gave details about what happened last month to the 66-year-old handyman who he said was working on installing a mailbox when he was shot in the back and killed. That story, Walsh noted, was not one that was widely reported in the mainstream media.
Walsh said police arrested two black men – Taj Matthews, 23, and Maurice Holmes, 25 in the murder. A lead detective with the Kenner Police Department testified recently that one of the suspects told police &#8220;they wanted to go out and kill a white guy,&#8221; according to <a href="https://www.wwltv.com/article/news/crime/kenner-murder-crime-handyman-killed-while-on-rounds/289-4365dbfd-4ad1-4978-b7b2-03979c86faae">4WWL</a>.
&#8220;Maurice Holmes and Taj Matthews were black and Lawrence Herr was white, so they executed him,&#8221; Walsh said. &#8220;Now, these men, they didn&#8217;t know Lawrence Herr or they didn&#8217;t get into some kind of altercation with him that day.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
A man named Lawrence Herr was hunted and killed for being white. The mainstream media has completely ignored the story. <a href="https://t.co/gzSXr3yMwc">pic.twitter.com/gzSXr3yMwc</a>

&#8220;He didn&#8217;t shout the N-word at them while they drove past,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Not that that would justify it. They just decided to take a day off work to go hunting for white people. And so they did.&#8221;
&#8220;Now, no mainstream media outlet in the country has covered this story,&#8221; Walsh continued, noting he&#8217;s not seen it on Fox News, CNN, The New York Times, or any other major outlets. However, he said the one you are hearing about in the media is the false story involving a pregnant hospital worker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lawyer-for-woman-accused-of-racism-over-bike-incident-threatens-lawsuits-as-media-others-scramble" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sarah Comrie</a> — who was accused of stealing a black man&#8217;s bike.
&#8220;Instead they spent the past week going wall to wall with an obviously fake story about a pregnant white physician&#8217;s assistant in New York City who supposedly decided to, out of nowhere one day, terrorize some black people,&#8221; the host added. &#8220;And yet no media outlets did any research or investigation into this version of events. We were supposed to simply accept it at face value, and many people did. And they did so based entirely on this out-of-context video.&#8221;
Walsh noted that the headline in the <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/05/16/nyc-hospital-karen-on-leave-after-viral-video/">New York Post</a> read, &#8220;NYC Hospital &#8216;Karen&#8217; On Leave After Being Accused Of Trying To Take Black Man&#8217;s Bike In Viral Video.&#8221;
&#8220;The article goes on to mock Sarah Comrie, saying that she, quote, appears to start crying theatrically in the video,&#8221; the DW host said. &#8220;Now, this is the New York Post. We&#8217;re talking about, which broke the Hunter Biden laptop story. They&#8217;re capable of doing real investigative journalism on occasion, and sometimes they do.&#8221;
&#8220;But what they did here is use a racial slur in a headline to spread an obvious lie about a pregnant hospital worker,&#8221; he added. &#8220;And yes, Karen is a racial slur&#8230;Even an article in the BBC from 2020 acknowledges that the Karen meme reference is, quote, a specific type of middle-class white woman.&#8221;
&#8220;And it became popular, quote, as a way for people of color, particularly black Americans, to satirize this type of white person,&#8221; Walsh continued. &#8220;In other words, it&#8217;s a derogatory label that one race of people uses to describe members of another race, otherwise known as a racial slur.&#8221;
The host said Comrie&#8217;s attorney has provided the receipt to prove that in fact, she was the owner of the bike and not the other way around. &#8220;Sara Comrie rented the bike. That&#8217;s not in dispute. The teenagers apparently swapped the QR codes so that she would unlock the bike that they were sitting on, which they could then steal,&#8221; Walsh said.
&#8220;What&#8217;s interesting is why anyone, journalists or otherwise pretended to believe this story for so long,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Why would anyone pretend to believe again that a white, middle-aged woman who just got off a 12-hour shift at a hospital tried to steal a bike from black teenagers?&#8221;
&#8220;There&#8217;s a reason the media has to lie about the stories of Sarah Comrie and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/woman-charged-for-allegedly-filing-false-police-report-on-man-he-doesnt-support-charges-wont-cooperate-in-case-against-her" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Amy Cooper</a>, not to mention the most egregious recent example, which was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/daniel-penny-breaks-his-silence-following-the-death-of-jordan-neely" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daniel Penny,</a>&#8221; he added. &#8220;And the reason is simple: it&#8217;s because they can&#8217;t find videos and news stories of white people going out and hunting black people. It just doesn&#8217;t happen. They lie and pretend it happens all the time. But it&#8217;s not true. And the people spreading this narrative, they know that it isn&#8217;t true.&#8221;

The travel advisory goes on to warn black Americans that &#8220;Florida is openly hostile toward African Americans, people of color, and LGBTQ+ individuals. Before traveling to Florida, please understand that the state of Florida devalues and marginalizes the contributions of, and the challenges faced by African Americans and other communities of color.&#8221;
But Florida GOP Chairman Christian Ziegler quickly noticed that Russell, chairman of the NAACP&#8217;s Board of Directors, lived in Florida — and he offered a quick response.

Florida has been the target of a number of attacks from the left in recent weeks – largely due to actions Governor DeSantis has taken to prevent doctors and parents from allowing minors to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/florida-senate-passes-bill-banning-minors-from-having-gender-reassignment-surgery-desantis-florida-house-likely-to-make-it-law" target="_blank" rel="noopener">begin the medical process</a> of gender transition and to prevent schools from teaching radical gender theory to elementary school students.
DeSantis is also expected to announce a bid for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination in the coming days, joining a field that already includes former President Donald Trump, former South Carolina Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/alpha-karen-with-brown-skin-msnbc-guest-ratchets-up-the-racism-to-insult-nikki-haley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nikki Haley</a>, former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, and Vivek Ramaswamy.

The attorney for Sarah Comrie — a white pregnant woman vilified on social media as a racist over a viral video showing a bike rental dispute between her and a black man with his friends in New York City — created a Twitter account to track defamatory remarks about his client.
Comrie, a physician&#8217;s assistant at Bellevue Hospital, encountered a man on May 12 who claimed he paid for a Citi Bike that she said she had rented first. Part of the confrontation went viral on social media with more than 40 million views, which has since resulted in Comrie keeping out of the public eye, receiving death threats, and NYC Health + Hospitals placing her on leave after some people branded her a &#8220;Karen.&#8221;
Attorney Justin Marino, who is representing Comrie, has since produced receipts he says prove his client paid for the bike, which contradicts the widely circulated claim that she &#8220;stole&#8221; it from the man. Marino, who has pledged to file defamation lawsuits, joined Twitter to help build such cases against those who he says unfairly smeared his client.
&#8220;I created this account so individuals can tag me as to defamatory statements/videos made against Ms. Comrie,&#8221; Marino said. &#8220;I&#8217;m looking for comments labeling Ms. Comrie a: 1) Karen; 2) racist; and/or 3) thief. Also, videos referencing a third party doing the foreging (sic) is also actionable.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Lawyer Ben Crump, who has been involved in some of the most controversial racial cases in recent history, claimed in a now-deleted tweet that Comrie had tried to &#8220;steal&#8221; the bike.
&#8220;This is unacceptable! A white woman was caught on camera attempting to STEAL a Citi Bike from a young Black man in NYC,&#8221; Crump tweeted. &#8220;She grossly tried to weaponize her tears to paint this man as a threat. This is EXACTLY the type of behavior that has endangered so many Black men in the past!&#8221;
According to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/karen-accused-of-racism-when-accosted-by-young-black-men-over-bicycle-produces-receipts-lawyer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marino</a>, the NYC healthcare professional had finished a 12-hour shift when she paid for the bike and removed it from its docking station, only to have the group approach her with one holding onto the handlebars, insisting it was his. One man allegedly pushed the bike back into its docking station, prompting the woman to call for help, Marino told <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/05/18/nyc-hospital-karen-paid-for-citi-bike-at-center-of-fight-with-black-man/?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=nypost&amp;utm_source=twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Post</a>, adding that one of the men covered the bike&#8217;s QR code so the woman could not pay for it again.

&#8220;In blocking the QR code, this individual&#8217;s arm was touching my client&#8217;s pregnant stomach, a condition of which she had made them aware,&#8221; the attorney continued. &#8220;Throughout this time and for the remainder of the video, roughly five individuals were telling her to get off the bike and heckling her. The fact anyone would treat another person like this is tragic, especially a visibly pregnant woman.&#8221;
Marino said he has shown media outlets two timestamped Citi Bike receipts only minutes apart; the first, he said, represented the contested bike, while the second was for another bike the woman rented to get home, and it showed the 25-minute ride she took to get there.
Despite the limited context shown in the video, many on social media and some media outlets quickly ran with the framing that Comrie had tried to steal the bike from the black man.
&#8220;What&#8217;s at play is what social media did to this woman who&#8217;s literally a hero, and has done nothing but help people and within one minute effectively tries to ruin her life,&#8221; he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lawyer-for-woman-accused-of-racism-over-bike-incident-threatens-lawsuits-as-media-others-scramble" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Fox News.

Despite the limited context shown in the video, many on social media and some media outlets quickly ran with the framing that Comrie had tried to steal the bike from the black man, labeling her a “Karen.” The outlet “Bicycling,” a cycling magazine published by Hearst Communications, <a href="https://archive.ph/uKHde#selection-437.0-437.69" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ran a headline</a> entitled “‘Pregnant NYC Karen’ on Video Trying To Steal a Black Man’s Citi Bike” that described Comrie as &#8220;the aggressor.&#8221;
“Many Black people have voiced their disdain about white privilege and how it can be weaponized to cause harm and in ill-fated circumstances, possibly even a loss of life,” the article begins. 
“Her screams for help, despite not being in harm’s way, is the definition of white privilege,” the article, which appears to have been deleted, continues. “Again declarations for help, even though she is the aggressor.”

Lawyer For Woman Accused Of Racism Over Bike Incident Threatens Lawsuits As Media, Others Scramble

Legacy Media

The lawyer for a white pregnant New York City physician’s assistant who was vilified as a racist on social media after a confrontation with a group of young black men who claimed that one of them paid for a city bike she was taking has reportedly produced receipts showing she paid for the bike.
The encounter on May 12 between the nurse and the man, who had several apparent friends with him, resulted in a viral video seen over 40 million times with some people branding the woman a “Karen” for her actions during the incident. The lawyer representing the nurse said that she had finished a 12-hour shift when she paid for the bike and removed it from its docking station, only to have the group approach her with one holding onto the handlebars, claiming it was his. One man allegedly pushed the bike back into its docking station, prompting the woman to call for help and look as if she was trying to cry.
“One or more individuals in that group physically pushed her bike (with her on it) back into the docking station, causing it to re-lock,” Justin Marino, the woman’s attorney, told <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/05/18/nyc-hospital-karen-paid-for-citi-bike-at-center-of-fight-with-black-man/?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=nypost&amp;utm_source=twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Post</a>, adding that one of the men covered the bike’s QR code so the woman could not pay for it again.

Many Americans believe companies should be more vocal on the topic of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/racism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">racism</a>, according to two surveys released on Wednesday, a reality which comes as many conservatives raise concerns about the impact of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/diversity-equity-and-inclusion-dei" target="_blank" rel="noopener">diversity</a> initiatives.
The most recent <a href="https://www.edelman.com/sites/g/files/aatuss191/files/2023-05/2023%20Edelman%20Trust%20Barometer%20Special%20Report%20Business%20and%20Racial%20Justice%20FINAL.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">edition</a> of the Edelman Trust Barometer found that 62% of respondents believe companies are “doing mediocre or worse living up to their promises and commitments to address racism both within their organization as well as the population.” Some 74% of blacks answered affirmatively, as did 71% of Asians, 66% of Hispanics, and 60% of whites, while a slight majority of Republicans answered affirmatively alongside two-thirds of Democrats.
Respondents also overwhelmingly said that prominent firms should correct misconceptions about diversity and affirmative action in the workplace, as well as “provide training on how to identify misinformation, including misinformation about racism and systemic injustice.”
Another <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2023/05/17/diversity-equity-and-inclusion-in-the-workplace/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">survey</a> of American workers from Pew Research Center revealed that 56% of respondents believe “increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion at work” is a “good thing,” while 16% said the trend was a “bad thing” and 28% said the trend was “neither good nor bad.”
Only 32% of workers, on the other hand, said they consider working “somewhere with a mix of employees of different races and ethnicities” as “extremely or very important” to them, while 28% said the same with respect to age diversity. More than half believe their employers pay “about the right amount of attention” to increasing diversity efforts, while women were considerably more likely than men to concur that the initiatives are positive developments.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion, also known as DEI, acquired a larger <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/technology-firms-send-diversity-czars-packing-in-bid-to-become-more-profitable" target="_blank" rel="noopener">foothold</a> in the private sector after the social and racial justice movements gained significant momentum while spreading across the nation three years ago. Critics of the diversity efforts observe that proponents advocate the mingling of racial or sexual identity with critical hiring decisions, leading to a decline in overall profitability and efficiency as efforts to merely hire the most qualified candidates are deprioritized. Other skeptics note that moves claiming to ensure equal opportunity can also serve as a means to advance left-wing ideology with respect to racial identity and oppression within workplaces.
Many companies have indeed <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/an-overt-act-of-marketing-leading-bank-increases-quota-for-women-in-senior-roles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">adopted</a> explicit goals to increase the number of racial minorities or females who are employed in the overall workforce or are promoted to senior management. Some conservative attorneys <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/blackrock-hit-with-federal-civil-rights-complaint-over-alleged-racist-hiring" target="_blank" rel="noopener">argue</a> that the objectives violate the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a statute that <a href="https://www.eeoc.gov/statutes/title-vii-civil-rights-act-1964" target="_blank" rel="noopener">penalizes</a> any employer who would “limit, segregate, or classify his employees or applicants for employment” in any way that could adversely affect them because of their “race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.”
The largest firms in the United States <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/one-year-after-george-floyd-americas-biggest-corporations-earmark-37-billion-for-racial-equity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">donated</a> more than $37 billion to social justice organizations and efforts in the year after the death of George Floyd. A more recent analysis from earlier this year <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-analysis-corporate-america-has-donated-82-billion-to-blm-related-causes-so-far" target="_blank" rel="noopener">concluded</a> that the number has since reached $83 billion.
Government officials have likewise <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/white-house-makes-new-move-to-purge-gender-pay-gap-from-federal-government" target="_blank" rel="noopener">attempted</a> to hire employees based on their race or sex: President Joe Biden endorsed an executive order to achieve “diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility” in the federal workforce, as well as a <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Strategic-Plan-to-Advance-Diversity-Equity-Inclusion-and-Accessibility-in-the-Federal-Workforce-11.23.21.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">plan</a> which includes an “equity roadmap” calling for “policies that do not rely solely on prior salary history” to create payment schedules.

President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> ginned up racial tensions at the graduation ceremony for Howard University on Saturday, claiming that America’s greatest threat comes in the form of “white supremacy.”
Biden gave the commencement address for the historically black college and university (HBCU) at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. In the <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2023/05/13/remarks-by-president-biden-at-the-howard-university-class-of-2023-commencement-address/">speech</a>, the president took a pessimistic view of America’s fight against racism, claiming that it is “a battle that’s never really over.”
Then, Biden told graduates to be on guard for what he views as the greatest threat to our nation.
&#8220;The most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland is white supremacy,” Biden told the crowd who responded with applause. “And I&#8217;m not saying this because I&#8217;m at a Black HBCU. I say it wherever I go.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The Democrat president also took a veiled shot at his opponent, former President Donald Trump.
“Let&#8217;s be clear: There are those who don’t see you and don’t want this future,” Biden said. “There are those who demonize and pit people against one another. And there are those who do anything and everything, no matter how desperate or immoral, to hold onto power. And that’s never going to be an easy battle.”
The president attempted to encourage the graduates by telling them that they represent the future of America, a future that showcases the “strength of our diversity at the center of American life.” Some Howard students in the crowd, however, still protested the Biden administration’s apparent failure to stand up for African Americans, according to <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/13/biden-howard-university-white-supremacy-terrorism-00096811">POLITICO</a>.

Biden concluded by telling the Howard grads that they represent “the best” of America.
“I know this,” the president said. “The oldest, most sinister forces may believe they’ll determine America’s future, but they are wrong. We will determine America’s future. You will determine America’s future. And that’s not hyperbole.”

Newsom, who appointed five of the nine members of the task force, told <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/california-gov-newsom-declines-back-reparations-checks-says-slaverys-legacy-more-cash-payments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News Digital</a> on Tuesday that finding a way to address the &#8220;legacy&#8221; left behind by the institution of slavery was a complicated issue that was &#8220;about much more than cash payments.&#8221;
&#8220;The Reparations Task Force’s independent findings and recommendations are a milestone in our bipartisan effort to advance justice and promote healing. This has been an important process, and we should continue to work as a nation to reconcile our original sin of slavery and understand how that history has shaped our country,&#8221; Newsom told the outlet.
&#8220;Dealing with that legacy is about much more than cash payments. Many of the recommendations put forward by the Task Force are critical action items we’ve already been hard at work addressing: breaking down barriers to vote, bolstering resources to address hate, enacting sweeping law enforcement and justice reforms to build trust and safety, strengthening economic mobility — all while investing billions to root out disparities and improve equity in housing, education, healthcare, and well beyond,&#8221; Newsom continued. &#8220;This work must continue.&#8221;
&#8220;Following the Task Force’s submission of its final report this summer, I look forward to a continued partnership with the Legislature to advance systemic changes that ensure an inclusive and equitable future for all Californians,&#8221; he said, noting that while some of the work had already begun, he was committed to continued efforts to &#8220;advance systemic changes that ensure an inclusive and equitable future for all Californians.&#8221;
The task force, as Newsom noted, is set to submit a final report later this summer — and the California State Legislature could then determine a path forward for their recommendations, sending it to Newsom for his signature after that.
The recommendations as they stand currently are based on how long residents have lived in California — and what kind of discriminatory policies may have affected them in that time — and call for payments ranging from several thousand dollars to more than $1 million.

As the Fox News Digital Report <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/california-gov-newsom-declines-back-reparations-checks-says-slaverys-legacy-more-cash-payments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">breaks down</a> some of the numbers, black residents who were impacted by bank red-lining and lived in California between the early 1930s and the late 1970s could receive $3366 per year — up to $148,099. Similarly, black residents who lived in the state between 1970 and 2020 could receive an additional $2,352 per year because of &#8220;over-policing and mass incarceration.&#8221; For some black residents, the total payout could be as high as $1.2 million.
According to a <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/05/07/california-task-force-oks-reparations-plan-that-could-cost-state-800b/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from The New York Post, the total reparations bill could land in the neighborhood of $800 billion — more than double California&#8217;s annual budget.

&#8220;Bridgerton&#8221; star Adjoa Andoh broke her silence after she faced some backlash for saying during live coverage of King Charles III&#8217;s coronation that the Buckingham Palace balcony was &#8220;terribly white.&#8221;
During the 60-year-old British actress&#8217; appearance on Saturday on an ITV panel the &#8220;Invictus&#8221; star said &#8220;We have gone from the rich diversity of the Abbey to a terribly white balcony. I am very struck by that.&#8221; The image was that of the King, Queen Camilla and other members of the royal family, the <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/bridgertons-adjoa-andoh-breaks-silence-29918132">Mirror</a> reported.
&#8220;I am also looking at those younger generations and thinking: &#8216;What are the nuances that they will inhabit as they grow?&#8221; she added.

Actress Adjoa Andoh was given a BBC platform to speak of a &quot;terribly white balcony&quot;. Can you imagine them giving someone a platform to speak of a &quot;terribly black&quot; family or a &quot;terribly black&quot; TV show?

The video surfaced on Twitter, with people blasting the actress for making &#8220;racist&#8221; comments.
&#8220;Why is it ok to dismiss a white family for being white?&#8221; one person <a href="https://twitter.com/darrengrimes_/status/1654899184128892930?s=20">wrote</a>.
Another <a href="https://twitter.com/plivamuzlajno/status/1654921313427894274?s=20">added</a>, &#8220;Adjoa Andoh is a [racist], and obviously very proud of it. Why is [BBC] promoting racism?&#8221;
Another person tweeted, &#8220;How has Adjoa Andoh got away with that, if it was the other way round it would be deemed racist and all hell would let loose! [bbc] [RoyalFamily].&#8221;
While another wrote, &#8220;How can she get away with that? Anyone of white color would have to make a public apology. Ridiculous, just shows she&#8217;s a racist though.&#8221;
After the star faced some criticism, she went on the BBC and responded to the backlash, noting some people were upset with her.
&#8220;I think I upset a few people yesterday I was talking about the day and how marvelous it was and then looking at the balcony at the end,&#8221; Andoh said. &#8220;‘And I suddenly went &#8216;ooh, it&#8217;s so white&#8217; – because the day had been so so mixed. I didn&#8217;t mean to upset anybody, I just was…&#8221;
A BBC Radio 4 presenter Paddy O&#8217;Connell then interupted the actress and told her she didn&#8217;t have anything to apologize for and said &#8220;You haven&#8217;t upset anyone.&#8221;
And now the British Broadcasting Company is in trouble, with people saying this one broadcaster had no right to say she hadn&#8217;t upset anyone with her comments, the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12059063/BBC-faces-backlash-Adjoa-Andoh-Paddy-OConnell-said-apologise-for.html">Daily Mail</a> noted.
&#8220;Bridgerton star Adjoa Andoh has just tried to back track on [bbcradio4], about her comment that the Buckingham Palace balcony was &#8216;terribly white,'&#8221; one person tweeted. &#8220;And then the presenter Paddy O&#8217;Connell tells her that she&#8217;s got nothing to apologize for. Please don&#8217;t speak for me!&#8221;
While another tweeted, &#8220;Paddy O’Connell is an enabler. Where is the impartiality [BBCRadio4]?&#8221;
