San Fran's reparations committee proposes $5 million to each Black longtime resident

San Francisco’s reparations committee has proposed paying each Black longtime resident $5 million and granting total debt forgiveness due to the decades of "systematic repression" faced by the local Black community.
The San Francisco African American Reparations Advisory Committee, which advises the city on developing a plan for reparations for Black residents, released its draft report last month to address reparations – not for slavery, since California was not technically a slave state, but "to address the public policies explicitly created to subjugate Black people in San Francisco by upholding and expanding the intent and legacy of chattel slavery."
"While neither San Francisco, nor California, formally adopted the institution of chattel slavery, the tenets of segregation, white supremacy and systematic repression and exclusion of Black people were codified through legal and extralegal actions, social codes, and judicial enforcement," the draft states.
The draft plan includes a long list of financial recommendations for Black San Francisco residents, including a one-time, lump sum payment of $5 million to each eligible individual.
To be eligible for the program, the applicant must be 18 years old and have identified as Black or African American on public documents for at least 10 years. They must also prove at least two of eight additional criteria, choosing from a list that includes, "Born in San Francisco between 1940 and 1996 and has proof of residency in San Francisco for at least 13 years," and/or, "Personally, or the direct descendant of someone, incarcerated by the failed War on Drugs."
The plan also calls on the city to supplement lower-income recipients’ income to reflect the Area Median Income (AMI), about $97,000, annually for at least 250 years.
"Racial disparities across all metrics have led to a significant racial wealth gap in the City of San Francisco," it argues. "By elevating income to match AMI, Black people can better afford housing and achieve a better quality of life."

this seems reasonable and i'm sure would end the discussion once done

I see the "systematic repression" ended in the late 90s.

You can't fix stupid - and there's no stupid like a California liberal.

How is it not racist to claim you identify as black to benefit from something? Lol.

How did they decide who all pays for this?
My parents immigrated here from Germany…why in the frick would I be on the hook to pay for that shite?

Hell yeah. Do it. The results would be worth it.

As an employee of a company that manufactures money printing machines, I strongly approve of this.

There are no blacks in San Fran. They all live in Oakland.

I cannot wait to see what happens to California when all the whites leave.

There is probably some white guy who was busted for weed once and has jokingly filled in the black circle on all government forms for the past 10 years that has a big smile on his face since technically he has identified as black.

I don't know, but any requests for additional federal funding beyond what has been in existence, should be denied for the life of this bs. Let them do it and let the city turn to a third world shite hole.

I'd be all for this if it meant black people could never ever again bitch about their lot in life, which includes TV appearances by Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and the rest. No more riots for perceived grievances. And Shaun King has to delete all social media.

Cool. Give it to them. Then end every single government benefit program that they're on for the rest of their lives.

It's San Fran. The dumb residents will probably volunteer some of that money so that they aren't embarrassed on social media.
Anyone left in that city with any sense will leave if this gets approved

The altered document industry is about to get a huge injection of cash from enterprising Oakland Yutes.

Isn't California broke? How can they afford this crap?

This is how they'll get around the absurdity of reparations for slavery. Tie it into the war on drugs instead.
