“Play stupid games, win stupid prizes” seems to be the conservative response to San Francisco’s proposed reparation plan, which would dole out $5 million to each Black resident. After all, paying for this latest obsession of the radical left would transform the city into a bankrupt “21st century Detroit.” If you live in California, you’ve probably figured out that at least part of the bill would fall on your doorstep. However, Americans around the nation — including those in conservative states — would likely be on the hook for California’s radical reparations payouts, as well.
San Francisco’s African American Reparations Advisory Committee presented the plan, which includes not only millions in payouts to eligible Black residents, but also an elimination of all personal debt, guaranteed annual incomes of at least $97,000 for 250 years, and homes for Black residents for just $1. The city’s Board of Supervisors heard the proposal with enthusiasm, and its political make-up as perhaps the most left-wing city in the country may lead to its passage.

I miss the rule-of-law.
Yes, of course.
Blue cities and states will bankrupt themselves being laboratories of left-wing social experiments, desired by ideologues in Washington DC
They will be made whole in the next grand “budget deal,” “stimulus” or whatever spending opportunity comes about next
I can’t say what I really think.
given that shoplifting is now de facto legal I’d say reparations are already underway
And what happens to the country when other large cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, ect., join San Francisco in these reparation payments?
Giving every African in America $5 million bucks, new cars and new homes is going to go a long way to cull that herd. I imagine that is exactly what the Dung Beetle Party wants. They want to dump the Africans from their plantation and load it up with Hispanics. You want to destroy America permanently? Give every African living here $5 million dollars. Murders will skyrocket out of sight.
The idea is to destroy state rights and the EC.
If we don’t stop the Marxist onslaught in Washington DC, in all blue states, and in all Dem run cities, those bastards WILL make us all pay. It will go into the federal tax code somehow. Every bad idea starts in CA and oozes out of the state like The Blob, eating everything in its path.
$33 trillion debt would become $200 trillion debt overnight and we’d all be spending Zimbabwe billion dollar notes.
Pelosi’s house for a $1? Me and shaniqua and our 10 kids will move in tomorrow!
For DECADES now the tax payers have paid for their medical, welfare payments, housing vouchers, grocery vouchers WHY is this not considered reparations???
UNSUSTAINABLE ?????
IT cannot even survive the first round of payments
This will be the new race war. Continue at your own peril.
If The Hill thinks this is such a bad thing maybe they should start supporting Donald Trump for a second term.
California has always been a soave free state. Why doee California have to pay reparations, and to whom?
Why not?
We need to state thoughts and problems on the surface where they can be made known.
The war must be actually fought
Blacks have no problem with government checking everything about them ?
correct and in fact legal reparations have been in force since LBJ’s Great Society Welfare.
This is why you cannot support anything Biden does, including the war in the Ukraine.
Reparations for slavery?
158 years after slavery ended we’re going to do reparations?
I know it’s a pain sometimes to hear politicians talk about a “national conversation” on some issue or other. But I would love to see a conversation about how people see the problems plaguing many black communities today, as somehow being the result of slavery. I would like to see, how do we justify paying reparations to people who were never slaves, paid by people who themselves did not own slaves.
