The city of San Francisco has issued a formal apology to Black residents for systemic racist and discriminatory policies over past decades.
The board of supervisors for the city in a unanimous vote approved a resolution offering the apology.
“This historic resolution apologizes on behalf of San Francisco to the African American community and their descendants for decades of systemic and structural discrimination, targeted acts of violence, atrocities as well as committing to the rectification and redress of past policies and misdeeds,” supervisor Shamann Walton said.
The resolution identified actions including redlining, the razing of the Fillmore neighborhood and policies and practices enacted by the city that stalled Black residents’ opportunities to build generational wealth.

It is impossible to ‘issue an apology’ on somebody else’s behalf.
Did they apologize for pimping for Jim Jones and luring hundreds of blacks to their deaths in Guyana?
Good point.
Lemme know when the Pelosi’s turn over the Pacific Heights mansion to Cletus the Market Street homeless guy
“Walton, the only Black member of the board, said there is “much more work to do but this apology most certainly is an important step.”
Make no mistake “much more work to do” is code for we will never be satisfied and we will grind white people down as much and as often as possible....also, checks are most assuredly part of that equation......and not just one either....it’ll be of the recurring lifetime sort.
It will never be enough.......EVER
Feeeeeeeee-lings....
Oh, whoah, whoah, feeeeee-lings...
Just don’t use any federal funds, ‘kay?
This is what, about the 1000th government apology for something someone else did?
I think Lefties who are “really” sorry about how blacks have been treated should self-immolate” to prove just how sorry they really are.
“I went to the reparations parade and all I got was this lousy T-shirt!”
So all that affirmative action doesn’t count?
How about they apologize for putting illegal aliens ahead of black US citizens, you know, like how the fake black man Obama did and now Biden.
They’re so sorry they plan to make up for it by discriminating against all the other colors especially white
Black resident’s feelings are the least of SanFrancisco’s problems.
Nah, this is a ‘wallow in white guilt thingie’ not real concern for current deaths or Jim Crow deaths. Guilt wallows are creepy.
I want my apology... I heard a pollock joke once. And I have Irish blood. They weren’t treated well. Just ask the Olsen Johnson of Rock Ridge. “We’ll give some land to the nnnnners and the chnnn, but we DON’T WANT THE IRISH.” Oh my life would be so much better if some politician apologized to my long dead family on behalf of some long dead tormenter.
Okay that fixes it. Everyone feel better? Can we stop talking about it now?
