The government-appointed panel responsible for determining the amount of reparations San Francisco should provide to its Black residents did not rely on a mathematical formula. Rather, the panel’s 15 members spent the last year and a half studying the city’s history to develop a proposal.
One idea being debated is to provide $5 million each to eligible Black residents. The report by the San Francisco Human Rights Commission’s Reparations Advisory Committee is a comprehensive document that provides a detailed analysis of the history of discrimination against Black residents in San Francisco. The committee studied various forms of discrimination, such as discriminatory housing policies, police brutality, and unequal access to education and employment opportunities.
The report also identified several proposals for reparations that aim to address the historical harm suffered by Black residents. One of the most significant proposals is to provide $5 million each to eligible Black residents. The eligibility criteria include being a current or former San Francisco resident who identifies as Black or African American, and who has experienced or been impacted by the city’s historical discrimination.
Other proposals include providing financial support for educational and job training programs, affordable housing, and healthcare. The report also suggests creating a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to address the city’s history of racial injustice and to promote healing and reconciliation.
The document reads:
“Provide a one-time, lump sum payment of $5 million to each eligible person. Rationale: A lump sum payment would compensate the affected population for the decades of harms that they have experienced, and will redress the economic and opportunity losses that Black San Franciscans have endured, collectively, as the result of both intentional decisions and unintended harms perpetuated by City policy.”

How about giving that money back to taxpayers?
I can imagine some are already racking up debts figuring they will get the money soon. When no money comes there will be more riots.
They’ll waste it all on blow, rims, hair extensions and nails.
sounds discriminatory to me....
Could they possibly pay for this?
They have a program that has already started called GIFT - guaranteed income for transgenders.
everything that our lives were based on....truth, integrity, frugality, fairness, hard work and ethics....has been thrown out the window.....
because doing all those things in your life got us zilch....
Do it San Fran! Just do it! You’ll see it won’t be enough. Maybe some eyes will open across the rest of the nation when they see.
I’d be surprised if that survives court challenges... you can’t segregate citizens for special treatment like that.
I would say DO IT, SAN FRAN except if they do it will be somehow reimbursed by Sacramento and DC.
I wasn’t aware if CA was ever a slave state to begin with?
I haven’t heard of any court challenges.
Would love to know what Redd Foxx would have thought of all this.
Hell no, but that doesn’t enter into the liberal progressive mindset.
“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury.”
California was admitted in 1850 as a free state.
Neither have, I’m just presuming there must be.
Newsom is cutting Covid care to illegals but we have $5 million for every gibsmedat?
And then will come the squeals that $5 mil “isn’t enough.”
