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.

I’m searching ancestry.com to see if
I have any African blood somewhere along the line. After that I’ll be checking out real estate in Pacific Heights. What a sweet deal.
Okay...the money. Where are they getting the money??
The latest instance of this insanity began during the George Floyd riots. It’s tempting to say it’ll never happen because neither SF nor California can afford it, but when have little things like common sense or basic fairness or reality ever stood in the way of the Left?
Which sadly describes most woke-leftists in government.
Just like their green energy schemes, these are built on fantasy-ideology, which was dreamed possible in a world of US dollar supremacy, printed fiat money and zero interest rates.
The USA will crash before any of these schemes have a hope of being born.
So who’s going to pay after the white and Asian exodus from the city?
I’m perfectly fine with this as long as absolutely no federal dollars are used, and there can be no supplanting or laundering of state funds via Federal revenues either. If that’s what the crackpot locals want, fine. Just use your own money.
“Wey my check? The Man done said they’d be a check.”
I think they absolutely should pass this and try to put it into effect. Go big or go home.
Pass the popcorn.
SF and CA are bankrupt; case closed. Politicians are smoking crack is the reality. In fact, the USA is bankrupt.
Frisco needs a San Andreas reset.
Where’s the formula/criteria for who gets payments? Exactly who qualifies?
Actually, if you put in the condition that the recipient must show that their ancestor was a slave at one time in California. they could win the propaganda prize, but not have to pay anything.
That’s Robert Downey Jr?
Wow...
They are just thinking ahead here.
When the Biden economy crashes and the dollar founders then everyone gets their 5 million dollar bill... lol
Stack silver today!
How about people who identify as black?
Come on now Cali you were on the front lines of this kind of nonsense.
So a city in a state that never had slaves is going to give:
5 million to every eligible Black adult
the elimination of personal debt and tax burden
guaranteed annual incomes of at least $97,000 for 250 years homes in San Francisco for just $1 a family.
To people who have never been slaves. Yeah that’s reasonable.
Reparations for transvestites!
