I’m finding out that my county’s lake was actually owned by my great great grandparents. And there is currently an ownership battle going on between my county and the US Forest Bureaucracy. The bureaucracy was supposed to give the lake back to my county but I think they aren’t able to because my county never actually owned it. And today I actually got the deed from when my great great grandparents lost the land with their name on it. My family has a case we just don’t have a lawyer. Since there is a very high chance that my family lost the land based on them being black I’m thinking about reaching out to the naacp
It’s the right thing to do. That land would have never prospered in the wrong hands. Praise God and I hope the necessary compensation is given back to the family, including restored generational wealth.
I understand Indigenous Americans have had their own struggle with white people - at least some of you were compensated in some way shape or form. That hasn’t been the case for Black Americans.
None of these tawny and brunette complexted people were decendants of slaves! We, our elders, great & up grandparents also ancestors were/are INDIGENOUS to North America. We are the American Indian tribes and decendants. That is why land was seized.
this family had the land returned and then sold it waaaay below land value not even a year after they got it. not about correcting wronged history but for the financial gain.
In a 100 years it will STILL be seen as an unfair sale. The Bruce family should give the money to the Chilula Indian tribe whole stole it from the Kumeyaay tribe who took it from the Chumash people.
Public use land is a big middle finger to the rich man's pocket. This land will be sold to a highest private bidder (probably one of the Mrs. P clan). So no more park, no more public use. Sea frond will be only for those who can afford it, which is rich. Hey, but you go on trusting a nephew of a known wise guy. A guy who in the mist of pandemic dines at the French Laundry. "I don't lose, I win. That's my job. That's what I do"........ "Vanity, my favorite sin."
The county and state owe the family millions in back pay to the family descendants... everybody in that family that’s living is own 10 million or better
"Vanity, my favorite sin." Someone just snatched this land from public use into private and it's not Bruce's family. All you'll get is a commemorative plaque. In few years it'll be sold to some rich guy/corporation. God, when will people ever learn that divided we fall.
Isn't that something, that she says IF they get their land back? Is the system just like they say when land is stolen from the most vulnerable sector of society and there's an IF when talking about giving it back? Is their punishment for the thieves? Nope.
Nothing was stolen, it was bought. This is like selling a property in the past then coming back to see it raised in value and demanding to get paid again current value. Ps 26 families properties were bought at the same time as the bruces through eminent domain, only 6 were black.
@@ethancropp600 if you say it was bought it definitely was stolen. It's a reaccuring theme. Even our "history" books tell us of legendary sized treaties being broken and land theft. Especially black American owned land. You know buying other people's land doesn't negate the fact that theirs was stolen.
@@fallenbeforefiona9000 they paid the bruces 14,000$ for it, the bruces paid 12,000$ for it, hardly stolen. There was other properties they could have bought in MB with that 14,000$ but they chose not to. This whole story is being used for the agenda of creating a stronger division between us black and white "common folk", it's working.
@@ethancropp600 I would love to see your source on the payment aspect of this $14,000 you speak of. That is a BIC claim and something many others would benefit from knowing. As it stands, they county and the state is admitting that their was no sell but an eminent domain of the properties for use of a local park. If there were a sell, did the county eminent domain the property from the new owner? Just curious how your bit of information connects to what has been legally/historically established.
@@phanorlasso8225 itslike stealing because the owner doesnt exactly want to sell but the property is bought at current value and the owner is forced to move, this happens whenever stadiums are built or freeways etc. Giving just the bruce family the land back or millions of dollars doesnt make sense, its merely a way to stir up racial tensions because they want us fighting each other instead of together. Imagine selling your house in the 80s and coming back now and demanding to be paid the difference from its value then to now, does that make sense? The bruces werent the only family forced to sell and move at that time, why is there no mention of them? The bruces could have bought different property in Manhattan beach but decided to move elsewhere. Now im all for the government forking out money to people but this is more than that, this is a strategic move to rile people up. Regardless of what happens me, you and everyone commenting are on the same team, "they" just dont want us to know it.
Good! I'd love to re-claim my Norwegian family's homesteaded properties in North Dakota and Black hammer Minnesota. Also, Popular Bluff Missouri, where my Black side of my family were enslaved lived and buried. I read somewhere that the plantation owner gave land to the city. Should have given it to the slaves that worked the land like my Norwegian family who developed their lands and built their own farms and homes with their own hands. Let's do this!
I hope the family gets the land back, and even more, and provides the same service--maybe tiny houses instead of tents--for anyone desirious of an affordable beach stay. And those good memories can last a lifetime--I recall a family stay in a beach bungalow in San Diego in the Sixties. Nothing fancy but walking distance to the beach.
So you think the family will be able to afford a property tax in a multi-million dollar community? Someone really wanted that land and it wasn't Bruce's family. Im afraid you've got played. Don't worry. You are not alone. George Carlin was right about those blue eyes 😉
This is the problem with POC in America. Black people can’t ever celebrate small victories without someone bringing “bUt wHat AbOuT -“ Like damn. All the minorities were fcked over by whyte people. One small victory for one minority group is a victory for all minority groups. It opens doors for others to be compensated as well.
Some of the information here is incomplete/inaccurate. It would be disappointing for the emphasis of this piece on racism to be undermined by these inaccuracies. Please make sure that all details are represented.
This is ridiculous, my 85 year old white grandpa has lost 2 homes to eminent domain, when do I get paid for this???? Sounds ridiculous doesn't it, not if my skin color was different?
Did your grandfather get paid for his land? This is different. It was stolen... they didnt get paid for it and the Bruce family was barred from paying land again.... as your post noted... your grandfather was able to buy more land. Very different.
@@MissElizabeth1920 no it wasnt stolen, do a little more research, it was bought for 2,000$ more than they paid for it which 100 years ago 2000$ was a good amount of money.

Give all of our land back now
Congratulations! Newsom signed the return of Bruce’s Beach today. 🥳🥳

No don’t lease to the county. Build the resort back and invest the money for the black community
It’s time to give land back. No excuses.
Finally wrongs being but right :):)

@@Melons-vg8dq do you have proof?
This happened all the time to upwardly mobile African Americans. Mostly they built highways after taking the land and properties.
Watching this closely. So many opportunities could open up for this family.
You kidding, right? It'll be sold to a corporation. No mortal will be able to afford property tax on it.
I pray they get their land back!
It’s the right thing to do. That land would have never prospered in the wrong hands. Praise God and I hope the necessary compensation is given back to the family, including restored generational wealth.
I hope someone takes a look at the HUD project that occurred in Cape May, NJ in the 60's.
So what about Black Wall Street? Do they intend to give back to those families who owned homes, banks restaurants etc.?
Would be a most appropriate thing to do!
What a weird world
Where is the reparations? With interest!
I want to see the Native American people get their land back
Get their country back.
The indigenous Indians of America want their land back also.
Umm ok
Chile, you're going to take that up with the right people.
I understand Indigenous Americans have had their own struggle with white people - at least some of you were compensated in some way shape or form. That hasn’t been the case for Black Americans.
The Bruce family are the Indigenous Indians of America.Theres no distinction between Negroes and Indian's. Learn about it 🤩

This is incredible and an important step to the a more equitable future. How will we also return land to Native Americans???
They're not thats the point.
Natives are denizens by birth. The Bruce's are American Indians.
Amen..
Victory ✊🏼
I am so glad they got the land back now we have to give the rest of the property back for African American and Indian people there land also
The native Indians must be shaking their heads like land taken, bro how about an entire country!!!!!
Native s are anchor babies.
So what do you do with all these people that unlawfully own this property
Right now, LA County has a lifeguard station, offices and parking lot on two adjoining parcels.
The County was the most recent owner. Fortunately, no private homes or businesses are on the property
In a 100 years it will STILL be seen as an unfair sale. The Bruce family should give the money to the Chilula Indian tribe whole stole it from the Kumeyaay tribe who took it from the Chumash people.
