California gives beach back to black family after it was stolen nearly 100 years ago

Whites need to take inequalities of law, such as this, and claim it as a precedent for all- because inequality under law is blatantly unconstitutional. Then they need to flood courts with claims of their own for the same kind of payment. But they won't, they never do.

"30 lots were acquired by the city through eminent domain on the pretense of building a park. Twenty five of those lots were owned by white families. The total paid for the 30 lots was $66,040.63. Even though the Bruce family owned only two out of the 30 lots, the Bruce family received $14,500, or 22 percent of the amount awarded by the court. Some of the lots were vacant land and others had improvements on them."

"Of the five black families who were forced to sell their property, four of them purchased another parcel in Manhattan Beach. They were not “driven out of town,” as some have stated. The Bruce family was the only Black family to leave the city as a result of the eminent domain."

Gee. Our 180-acre centennial family farm was confiscated in 1969 by eminent domain and we ended up in a trailer park. I wonder if we can have that back, too.

These people weren't alive in 1924.

Says the trust fund baby…

meanwhile thousands of white families who have lost their properties to eminent domain get nothing

It will soon be a place where black people can once again enjoy the beach.

Indians died because of black privilege!

Unless they are wealthy the property tax will force them to sell it ......







again

Here's a little more history about it - listing out the multiple families who were forced to sell under eminent domain. Wondering if the other 28 lots are going to be given back to their descendants (sarcasm)....

"The California Eagle printed a letter from E. Burton Ceruti, Attorney for the L.A. Branch, N.A.A.C.P. on July 11, 1924, wherein he stated that Mrs. Bruce was “willing to sell her property and, even if a suit be instituted, would sell at a fair price at any time, and would abandon the suit at such time.” By December, they had entered into the condemnation proceedings with Attorney Willis O. Tyler as their lawyer."

I think they opened a door.... Reparations? Giving back lots taken from eminent domain? Might get interesting. When will this end? It never will.

Not saying that family wasn't harassed - at that time in our history, I have no doubt they were. But if the city/county/state gives back one lot that they forced the owner to sell, they must give back the other 28 lots. Isn't this entire case based on fairness? Then they should be fair to all. JMHO

They can own the beach up until the sand becomes wet from the ocean.

Go look at the map, itrs multiple blocks, a park, a parking lot, a life guard station and a beach, worth many millions.

Yeah, but poor Whites will never be compensated and are still being screwed over.

How did blacks acquire beachfront property in CA 100 years ago?

shit son.. 90 percent of these muhfuckas cant even swim or go into the woods

Good for them. Which of us -- given an opportunity like this -- would not take it??

Eminent domain is perfectly legal in the United States of America; always has been. The problem is with the Kelo decision, SCOTUS changed the definition of public use. It used to mean highways, water treatment plants etc. Now, it can mean a corporation that can bring in more tax revenue to the gov is worthy. If the black family was compensated nearly one hundred years ago, they should not get a do over. White people (including relatives of mine) have had the same thing happen to them for hundreds of years here. [link to www.law.cornell.edu (secure)]

We know what's been stolen when $14,500 in 1924 is worth $200,000 or more today.

"Eminent domain is perfectly legal in the United States of America"

That is true.
Eminent domain is also unlawful.
The 'Needs of the state' should Never be an excuse to take someone's Rights.

That communist bullshit should not be allowed because this is the United States of America.
Fuck their socialist legalities.

STFU!
Do you speak for every black person in existence?

Glad to see justice finally prevail.


And thanks for posting this water cooler story for Monday.

What about all the countless others whose land was taken of all colors to build a fucking interstate concrete jungle hell hole? They got a few nickels prolly

How about all the Ranchers whose land was taken for 'nature preserves and parks?
Seems like everyone got screwed by the corporate owed government front.


I guarantee, they wouldn't touch any of Gates new farms.

Greenwood, Oklahoma

Now blacks can give beach back to the Indians.

Oh look! And now, the rest of the story.

Why can’t you just walk in without a pass through the boardwalk entries? and when they ask tell them to call the cops?
