San Francisco board open to reparations with $5M payouts

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 were some of the more than 100 recommendations made by a city-appointed reparations committee tasked with the thorny question of how to atone for centuries of slavery and systemic racism. And the San Francisco Board of Supervisors hearing the report for the first time Tuesday voiced enthusiastic support for the ideas listed, with some saying money should not stop the city from doing the right thing.

“Those of my constituents who lost their minds about this proposal, it’s not something we’re doing or we would do for other people. It’s something we would do for our future, for everybody’s collective future,” said Supervisor Rafael Mandelman, whose district includes the heavily LGBTQ Castro neighborhood.

Only someone who is mathematically illiterate would think that this is possible.

Maybe they are relying on a Federal bailout like the bank.

Theft of a city.

Mandelbaum thinks he can replace the city’s population with a compliant gang that will do his bidding.

Lord of the Flies.

The fun begins when it becomes time to determine who is a “black”.

Why does San Francisco feel responsible for the slavery of blacks? Maybe they should pay reparations to blacks for the AIDS virus.

Sure sounds like a Babylon Bee article to me. It is until someone proves otherwise.

Some of them, and at the DOJ,
think fairness requires WHITE slaves for them,
including sex-slaves of the WHITE slaves’ children.

This worked for Robert Downey Jr. Maybe we should give it a try?

The joke’s on them. It will NEVER be enough for these perpetual “victims.”

Blatantly unconstitutional to award people money based on their skin color. None of these people were ever slaves.

It’s not your constituents who have lost their minds...it is you and those indulging in this insane fantasy.

Perfect! I've been waiting a while to witness another large American city self destruct Detroit style.

This should put it well on the way to gutterhood!

If we have “preferred pronouns”, why can’t we have “preferred race”?

We all know what happens when you pay a blackmailer. They keep coming back!

I could see paying descendants of California Chinese, but WHT black people. Doubt there are ANY descendents of American black slaves without white DNA.
