I NEVER grossed more than $63,000 a year in my entire life.

I never got paid more than $20 am hour.

I OWN all my property free & clear—all my vehicles—horses,etc.

***In the 1960s, city leaders demolished part of the Fillmore District, a neighborhood once known as the Harlem of the West, displacing 883 businesses and 20,000 people, most of them Black.

That so-called Harlem of the West, is a lie. Blacks were short-term residents, taking over housing that was formerly owned by Japanese-Americans displaced by forced moves to concentration camps during WWII.

Blacks were brought to San Francisco during WWII to work in the local shipyards, and placed in the homes vacated by Japanese-Americans. Shipyards such as Hunters Point Naval Shipyard, and other shipyards from Alameda to Richmond nearby. The Hunters Point/Bayview neighborhood was one result of the influx of blacks from the south.

After WWII and the release of incarcerated Japanese-Americans, many of them returned to the Fillmore area only to find their housing filled with blacks. The Japantown neighborhood, with assistance from Japanese companies, redeveloped the neighborhood by creating a redevelopment zone that replaced dilapidated homes along Geary Blvd and Post St, with a mall, hotel and restaurants. It provided a dividing line between blacks to the south, and Japanese to the north up to Fillmore St to the west.

I remember the clearing of these buildings, and the subsequent build of the mall buildings. My mother worked in several businesses in the mall after it opened. The blacks were not displaced, they moved elsewhere across Geary Blvd to subsidized housing.

Let all of white America self identify and bring a lawsuit against these actions if they pass

GOOD!

That giant sucking sound will be caused by blacks from every other city and state rushing to San Fran-Stupido to make their claim for the $5,000 handout.

[Iron Munro]

Support is growing for the black reparations proposal.

110% of San Francisco’s dope dealers support the idea of handing $5,000 to every black.

“There was no slavery in San Francisco”

And isn’t it true that the blacks brought to America were already slaves in Africa? Therefore we didn’t enslave them since they were already slaves and furthermore their lives as slaves in America were undoubtedly better than their lives as slaves in Africa.
