San Franciscans line up at board meeting to shout and sing support for reparations plan to give every black resident $5M

Wipe personal debt, provide $97K guaranteed incomes and homes for just $1 - and no one asks how city will foot the bill

Plans to provide a $5 million lump sum and $1 homes to black residents of San Francisco as reparations were given vociferous support on Tuesday at a public hearing of the Board of Supervisors - despite the un-costed plan likely to sink the struggling city, where a $728 million deficit is already predicted over the next two fiscal years.

Black residents are eligible if they meet two of eight criteria - among them, being locked up or descended from someone locked up on drug charges or being priced out of a neighborhood.

Tuesday's hearing was the first since the controversial scheme was launched and it saw enthusiastic San Franciscans line up to take the microphone and address the Board - with several singing their support. One sang a verse from the 1964 Civil Rights anthem by Sam Cooke, A Change is Gonna Come.

Sgt Yulanda Williams, the president of the police association Officers for Justice, told them: 'My dad always taught me never to beg. And I am not begging you today. It is time for you to do the right thing and provide us with reparations: make us whole.'

Encouraged by the San Francisco African American Reparations Advisory Committee (AARAC), which offered a free lunch for all attending, the mostly black crowd told how racist policies affected their ancestors and their own lives.

The irony is that this ghetto lottery reparations rip-off. This cash will come out of California’s black people’s taxes too. Also Indian casinos. Also taxes from Asians and immigrants who are fresh off the boat.

No Mexican-American wants to be paying for some long ago BS he was never inolved in.

My plan would have California seize 20% of the wealth of all who are worth more than 5 millions. This can fund the repo-rations.

What Cassius Clay said-— “I’m glad that grand daddy got on that boat”

For the ingrates, send them back on a boat with $100,000 in cold hard cash. That will go a very long way in Arica. Whether it is Rwanda or Congo or whatevers.

It doesn’t matter how much reparations are; it will be pissed away in a year. It will be interesting to see the schemes that are conjured up to relieve these people from their money. One thing for sure though; the so called elite such as the Reverend Sharpton will be in on the game 😂….

“One evening as the sun went down
And the jungle fire was burning
Down the track came a hobo hiking
And he said, “Boys, I’m not turning”
“I’m headed for a land that’s far away
Besides the crystal fountains
So come with me, we’ll go and see
The Big Rock Candy Mountains”
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
There’s a land that’s fair and bright
Where the handouts grow on bushes
And you sleep out every night
Where the boxcars all are empty
And the sun shines every day
And the birds and the bees
And the cigarette trees
The lemonade springs
Where the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
All the cops have wooden legs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
The farmers’ trees are full of fruit
And the barns are full of hay
Oh, I’m bound to go
Where there ain’t no snow
Where the rain don’t fall
The winds don’t blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
You never change your socks
And the little streams of alcohol
Come trickling down the rocks
The brakemen have to tip their hats
And the railway bulls are blind
There’s a lake of stew
And of whiskey too
You can paddle all around it
In a big canoe
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
The jails are made of tin
And you can walk right out again
As soon as you are in
There ain’t no short-handled shovels
No axes, saws nor picks
I’m goin’ to stay
Where you sleep all day
Where they hung the jerk
That invented work
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
I’ll see you all this coming fall
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains”
Harry Mcclintock.

Every white person should move out of that state... Leave them with their preferred races...

Ever notice how much easier it is to open a can of worms than close it?

Just give them a home for free. Make sure it is furnished and has plenty of food. Might as well include a white butler and maid.

The entire reparations crap has no basis in law

100% illegal and unconstitutional

If they do it, they should be rejected from the US else their debt will infect all others thru the fed

This explains how a culture like the Aztecs could start, grow and flourish. One of the neighboring tribes MUST have asked for reparations.
