SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Payments of $5 million to every eligible Black adult, the elimination of personal debt and tax burdens, guaranteed annual incomes of at least $97,000 for 250 years and homes in San Francisco for just $1 a family.
These are just some of the recommendations made by a city-appointed reparations committee tasked with a thorny question: What would it take to atone for the centuries of U.S. slavery and generations of systemic racism that continue to keep Black Americans on the bottom rungs of health, education and economic prosperity, and overrepresented in prisons and homeless populations?
John Dennis, chair of the San Francisco Republican Party, does not support reparations although he says he’d support a serious conversation on the topic. He doesn’t consider the board’s discussion of $5 million payments to be one.
“This conversation we’re having in San Francisco is completely unserious. They just threw a number up, there’s no analysis,” Dennis said. “It seems ridiculous, and it also seems that this is the one city where it could possibly pass.”

It would all disappear into the sand.
How very Republican of him...
Is San Francisco paying reparations to blacks for the AIDS scourge?
I am reminded of a scene in North by Northwest where Cary Grant hides in the art auction.
“I bid one dollar…”
My story?
DO IT! DO IT, SAN FRAN! I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU! Do it and let it be the final object lesson for the rest of the states to never do this!
I thought SF hated black people since they voted for Prop 8.
NAME the contractor who will build a home & sell it for $1.
Other people’s money....
It helps them sleep better and gets them invited to cool parties.
We pay the price.
Do leftist politicians have enough assets to pay reparations to all they have harmed?
NAME the contractor who will build a home & sell it for $1.
NAME the CITY/COUNTY that will only charge property taxes on $`1 home purchase-—especially in Calif—where property taxes are based upon the sale price of the home.
And in the latest news, San Francisco’s population increased by 30+ million since 2023.
I’m surprised that it wasn’t 10 or 12 million.
The money will reach few, if any black people, and will somehow end up in the back pockets of the multi-billionaires, and politicians, who pushed for it.
(See for reference: Any area run by Democrats.)
DO NOT leave out the drug dealers.
I see the population of SF suddenly exploding.
And it’s real estate market.
And it’s crime rate................
All the families of the men and women who died to free the slaves should change these people 6 million each.
