- There was no slavery in San Francisco - My ancestors arrived in 1870s (after slavery was abolished) - Nobody in my family ever owned slaves or confiscated property from anyone (they bought their houses in a regular transaction). - None of my ancestors ever purchased property in the Fillmore district

And yet I am supposed to pay taxes so reparations can be paid to African Americans who live in SF?

San Francisco debates reparations: $5 million each for Black residents?

This is one way to finally get SF's population growing again - I'm tempted to pull a Rachel Dolezal, declare myself black and move back to the SF (my family lived there when I was under 10 years old).

As a consequence, “non-qualifying” black residents will find themselves taxed to pay out to “qualifying” black residents. I’m sure they’ll be happy about that.

You can’t underestimate the stupidity of libtards. CA is up to their ass in debt, people with money are leaving in droves, and they are talking about implementing crap like this.

I now self-identify as black and plan to ride the reparations gravy train.

Will it be in installments over 20years? Might be better than the lotto drawing.

“...displacing 883 businesses and 20,000 people, most of them Black. Decades later, thousands of people remain displaced”


Hmm, appears blacks (no capital b) in San Francisco are not unlike the Arabs who were ‘displaced’ a the creation of Israel. Decades and generations pass, but they remain ‘displaced’.

Are there many Germans who were forced to move out of what became western Poland, the old East Prussia, and western Czechoslovakia after WWII still ‘displaced’? Or did they move, suck it up and try to get on with their lives as best they could?

I am 1% black due to a somewhat shady ancestor post civil war or it could have been prior to the civil war. Do I get 1% of this largess? It would be a cool 50,000 dollars!

This insanity that divides us must stop. I am a mostly white American, my wife is 100% Mexican from Mexico but an American Citizen. She attended our universities. Her father a wise businessman insisted they learn English and go to our universities as did all her siblings. He paid out of country tuition for his children, which is a lot. She is retired now as I. She was a software engineer and her skills were paid for at a high level of compensation. She grabbed the American dream and ran with it. She is proud of her heritage. She is American first and Mexican second.

As mentioned, this insanity must stop.

“San Francisco debates reparations: $5 million each for Black residents?”

after this is finally resolved, their SECOND agenda item is “How may Black Angels Can Dance on the Head of a Black Pin?” ...

I remember a Bonanza episode in which Ben Cartwright gets shanghaied in SF while looking for some of his men who were shanghaied. The slave trade was alive and well there, just not out in the open and under another name.

“”for “the public policies explicitly created to subjugate Black people in San Francisco by upholding and expanding the intent and legacy of chattel slavery.””

Translation, please!
