For the Health Ranger Mike Adams, paying reparations to people who have suffered injustice or crimes committed by others "is not a sound principle upon which to base society." "Paying reparations to people living is an absurd exercise in some weird, twisted combination of virtue signaling and fiscal insanity," he said during a special episode of the "Health Ranger Report." Adams' remarks followed the introduction of a new proposal in California that will pay out an estimated $800 billion to Black people. The total amount of reparations is more than twice the Golden State's annual budget of $300 billion. (Related: Black activists complain that $25,000 reparations payments are not enough to cure racism.) According to the Associated Press, this amount does not include a recommended $1 million allocated to older Black residents for "health disparities that have shortened their average life span." It also does not include compensation for Black individuals whose businesses were devalued and whose properties were unjustly seized. But the Health Ranger pointed out the absurdity of the proposal, given that California was never a slave state to begin with. He continued that none of the recipients of the money was ever a slave, and that no White person or taxpayer regardless of ethnicity ever owned slaves. Moreover, many Blacks living in California are descendants of both slave owners and slaves – citing the existence of Black slave owners.

Reparations should apply to descendants of both Black and White slaves

Adams expounded on White slaves in his report, saying that they were brought to America from European countries such as Ireland. These White slaves worked in terrible conditions to try to pay off the cost of their transport. According to the Health Ranger, this scheme called indentured servitude involved White slaves working at a farm or plantation for a number of years. Just like their Black counterparts, these Caucasian laborers were supposedly allowed to earn their freedom – but were often trapped, never being able to earn their way out. Thus, if the government would compensate all people victimized by slavery – other people, not just Blacks, should be included. Skin color should not be the only basis for reparations as it would be discrimination, Adams added. "If we are going to compensate people who are descendants of slaves, how could you limit it just by skin color? You would have to allow everyone, including White people who were descendants of slaves." Adams then posed the question of whether it was really correct to give money to or take money from people based on their ancestors' behavior. He also questioned when did Americans adopt ancestral crime lineage – something he described as a "very dangerous principle" – as an operating principle in society. If this was followed, every person in the world could be held accountable for the behaviors of their forefathers to some degree. "Are we responsible for all their behavior? Of course, the answer is no. We are not responsible for their behavior. We are responsible for our own behavior," Adams said. The Health Ranger ultimately warned that if California proceeds to pay out $800 billion for reparations, its government would go broke and the state would collapse into insolvency. He told his listeners that Americans do not need reparations, and that the government needs to stop stealing from the people through taxes and reckless money printing.
