(CNN) -- Low-income families of color in Oakland, California, could receive some extra financial assistance over the next year and a half.
Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf announced this week that the city will launch a guaranteed income project to give hundreds of Black and Indigenous families and people of color $500 per month for 18 months.
The project's payments will be unconditional, and recipients may spend the money however they choose.
The Oakland Resilient Families program is the latest trial of a "guaranteed income" system of wealth distribution, where residents are given a set amount of money per month to supplement the existing social safety net.
The project targets groups with the city's greatest wealth disparities, per the Oakland Equality Index, which reveals the median income for White households in Oakland to be nearly three times that of Black households.
"The poverty we all witness today is not a personal failure, it is a systems failure," Schaaf said in a statement. "Guaranteed income is one of the most promising tools for systems change, racial equity and economic mobility we've seen in decades."

Actually, there is a string attached. You can't be white is one of them.

Supposedly it's all private dollars, but it's a still a retarded idea that the government should have no hand in.

Little at a time...
Drip drip drip.
Before you know it, we're living in a US with reparations and UBI under the guise of other "programs".

Do Asians count? Usually not in these instances. Take a look at standardized test brackets.

I can’t speak for poc in Oakland, but it is insulting to me. I would either tear up the check or donate it.

That is it. If I lived in Oakland, I would want to move.
And the literal definition of racist.
