I mean, why not ask for that? Lots of white guilt in San Fran. Might as well shoot your shot.

Justin Hansford, professor at Howard University School of Law, says no municipal reparations plan will have enough money to right the wrongs of slavery, but he appreciates any attempts to “genuinely, legitimately, authentically” make things right. And that includes cash, he said.

“If you’re going to try to say you’re sorry, you have to speak in the language that people understand, and money is that language,” he said.



It will never be enough which is why it should not be done.

I’m just curious as to why the black people who sold them in the AST are off the hook here lol. Why doesn’t Africa have to pony up any cash?

What if I had a slave owner granddaddy but also had an Underground Railroad Uncle? Do I net zero on this transaction?

1. That's not $5 Million, it's closer to $25 million.
2. Who lives that long?
3. What the hell, make it $25 billion!
