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 many years has San Francisco been run by Demorat mayors and city councils?
So...OK. I’m now identifying as a Black San Francisco resident.
Prove me wrong...
George Christopher was the last GOP mayor of SF.. his last year in office was 1964... so 59 years on the mayor question.
Thank you for that information. So how could these problems still exist in San Francisco; a Demorat has been mayor for the past 60 consecutive years!
As long as it comes from taxes paid by San Franciscans I say go for it. To paraphrase Margaret Thatcher, “ eventually run out of other people’s money”.
Are these people for real? What sort of bizzarro world are we living in? Just insane.
Where will they get the money?
Exactly. Where is that money going to come from? You have done everything in your power to destroy your tax base drive the rich people out of San Francisco, so where is the money coming from what uncle sugar or aunt sugar is going to open their checkbook and pay for this and what is the estimated cost going to be?
After they’ve massively decreased the black population there over the past few decades.
“..one-time, lump sum payment of $5 million to each eligible person.”
And how exactly will they determine who is eligible? There were black slave owners.
The white businessmen are lining up for the windfall.
This just in: FUBU is now the worlds largest company after merging with KFC.
Well, it certainly isn’t going to be coming out of the pockets of the liberal, wealthy elite themselves from their own personal wealth.
They have their grand ideas and want everyone else to implement them while they exempt themselves.
