Support for a reparations plan for Black residents doesn't appear to be popular in California, according to a new survey.
While most Californians surveyed believe racism occurs in the state, less than half of them don't support the idea of a reparations task force that's working on how much the state may owe some Black residents.
The survey by the nonprofit Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) released Monday said even though 71% of Californians think racial and ethnic discrimination contributes to economic inequalities in the United States, only 43% of those surveyed said they support having a state task force seeking reparations.
The survey also said that nearly 60% would approve of an official apology from the California lawmakers and Gov. Gavin Newsom for the state's longstanding discrimination policies and practices.
