San Francisco’s reparations committee has proposed paying each Black longtime resident $5 million and granting total debt forgiveness due to the decades of "systematic repression" faced by the local Black community.
The San Francisco African American Reparations Advisory Committee, which advises the city on developing a plan for reparations for Black residents, released its draft report last month to address reparations – not for slavery, since California was not technically a slave state, but "to address the public policies explicitly created to subjugate Black people in San Francisco by upholding and expanding the intent and legacy of chattel slavery."
"While neither San Francisco, nor California, formally adopted the institution of chattel slavery, the tenets of segregation, white supremacy and systematic repression and exclusion of Black people were codified through legal and extralegal actions, social codes, and judicial enforcement," the draft states.
The draft plan includes a long list of financial recommendations for Black San Francisco residents, including a one-time, lump sum payment of $5 million to each eligible individual.

No, but the municipalities will get repaid by the State - plus fee’s and interest, and then the State’s will get repaid by the Fed - plus fee’s and interest.
this needs be needs based or the city would look foolish paying large sums to black athletes, a simple test needs to be constructed around things a long term SF citizen might know like how many ounces of water is in SF bay at noon on Jan 1st
Insanity prevails.
Can I get reimburse for all the welfare blacks have received and lives they have taken through violence?
I’m all for it, with the following stipulations. Born a citizen in SF. Proof of residency for more than 100 years. Proof of black slave ancestry. A limit of $10,000 given, doled out in $1,000 per year payments. Upon death, unused funds returned to the city.
That will limit the funding necessary, except the $500 million budget necessary for a new department and staff to administer the payments.
......Do I hear $50 Million? SOLD!
This is beyond galactic stupidity.
I have a 50 Trillion dollar note from Zimbabwe.
I bought it as a joke for my father in law on EBAY.
Give them $6 million if they agree to move to another state.
You are right that it will all be back in the economy within a couple years. But meantime, maybe it’s a good time to invest in operations that provide illegal dope, fried chicken and gold-plated Caddies.
I’m American Indian.....I would like $5 million please.
Here’s a thought:
Current ceiling on USA debt is $31.?? TRILLION.
Some have calculated that since LBJ started welfare, etc, that over $27 TRILLION has been flushed away.
I wonder what the correlation is?????
I do know that IF YOU FEED THE FERAL CATS—you might assuage your guilt for a short time-—but in the long run-—ALL YOU GET IS MORE FERAL CATS——
More money than a vast majority in this country have as net worth. Sounds fair. /s
“If passed, buy stock in DNA companies and U-Haul. LOL!!”
I’m buying stock in cannabis, KFC Caddies.
With your screen name, I can understand why.
And what about the Chinese, who unlike the blacks actually built stuff?
slavery was practiced by 1%....I

Pay ‘em $10 million if they leave the country, and are barred from returning to the US.
