Richie Greenberg, one of the plaintiffs suing San Francisco over its reparations fund, claimed the measure is divisive because it solely favors Black residents.
"It is dividing the city rather than trying to unite. So, what we really need is to be focusing on how to uplift everybody rather than focusing on one group giving everything to that one group. And then everyone else is then responsible for paying for that one group," Greenberg told Fox News Digital.
Greenberg formerly identified as a Republican and currently identifies as a centrist-conservative Democrat.
The city was sued over its reparations fund on grounds its taxpayer money is being "unlawfully" used for a policy that allegedly violates the equal protection clause.
According to the Pacific Legal Foundation, several San Francisco residents and Californians for Equal Rights Foundation sued San Francisco Thursday, challenging an ordinance that establishes a fund for Black residents.
The lawsuit alleges that the ordinance is discriminating on the basis of race because it allows taxpayer money to be funneled into the fund. The plaintiffs said a win would protect taxpayers from supporting a government-based racially motivated program and establish boundaries for other cities implementing similar policies.
"Acknowledging past injustice does not give the government license to spend public resources on programs that sort people by race and ancestry today," said Andrew Quinio, an attorney with the Pacific Legal Foundation.
"The Constitution requires the city to address proven harm directly, not through sweeping racial and ancestral classifications. This lawsuit is about ensuring that all Americans are treated as individuals under the law and not forced to subsidize government policies that collectively bind them to history that they did not experience or inflict."

Would this pushback be going on if Trump were not in office? The far lefties, at least a few, can see this and are coming around. Trump is stirring the pot.
I was named after my great, great grandfather (my real first and middle names). He volunteered as a young man and was in the Michigan Volunteers. During a low point for the Union forces, Lincoln proclaimed out loud: "Thank God for the Michigan Volunteers" when the first arrived.
He was in some of the famous battles but made it home alive and is buried in Port Austin, Michigan under a Grand Army of the Republic insignia.
There is a historic 1800s building near here where the soldiers stayed overnight on the way South to battle. I'm almost certain my great, great grandfather stayed there. There is now graffiti painted on the pedestrian bridge over the nearby river: F#@% Trump. F#$@ICE. Kill Cops. Love Is Resistance.
Not that I'm bitter and vengeful.
Michigan Volunteers fought in the Battle of Gettysburg, Antietam, First and Second Bull Run, Fredericksburg, Chickamauga, and the final Appomattox campaign.
Pretty much all my family arrived here around 1900, well pass the civil war!
No Mayflower people in our family tree!
The only pre civil war family members were Natives!
Should we pay reparations?
I doubt any of them were student atha-letes.

Cartman being watchable and funny.
Come to think about it, an average black in the US has more slaveowner ancestry than an average white!
I 100% support reparations, the bill should be 100% paid for by DEMOCRATS. They are the ones who supported slavery and fought a war in order to keep their racist policies, they are the ones who need to pay. Time for a lawsuit against the Democrat Party to make them pay for their past racism and evil.
Maybe there’s hope after all if even people in San Fransicko are sprouting some common sense.
Two thoughts
-There are GENERATIONS of my ancestors who were indentured servants. Fortunately, my six brothers and sisters and I were raised by real Americans. We did not have much growing up. We did have parents who embraced America, and taught us by every-day example. Get up every day and get it done. School, work, chores, whatever. Mom was mostly a stay-at-home mom (well, there were seven of us!). Mom did go to work when times were really hard. Dad was a pilot in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. Even though he was shot down twice, he came home to us and worked in the private sector once his flying days were over. Neither mom nor dad talked much about our indentured ancestors. Dad remembered places in his youth with signs equating us with vermin and dogs. Dad did not have a hateful bone in his body. Never called or classified anyone by any labels. Dad did demonstrate some dislike for one thing.
He HATED COMMIES.
-Anyone objecting to current reparations insanity will, of course, be labeled........ Raaaaaacist!
Ding ding ding winner

<><> reparations have already been paid in the form of genes
Yup......but it didn’t satisfy the $$$$greed.
I have ancestors who were Union soldiers and some that were Confederates. So I guess I should pay myself reparations?
Compensated emancipation was done in D.C. in 1862. The idea was still floating around even later in the Civil War.
That was the British model, and it was the obvious road not taken in the U.S.
You mean, there's a Democrat who actually gets it?
No, none of that money will get to a minority — unless that minority is a CaCaLand politico. ALL such programs in this state only fund the DNC.
