SF needs to read some Thomas Sowell.

$50 and a mule! That's about it.

It should be taken out of every Democrat politician paycheck. They mostly caused those sins, not the tax payer.

Hell yes, let's gooo

City that had nothing to do with African slavery is paying money that it will collect from its Chinese residents who they actually oppressed. It's too bad that Asians aren't considered oppressed because they are 'white adjacent'.

SVB has already underwritten it. Checks are in the mail.

Every black person in the US will descend on San Fran and there will never be another employed black person in that city. This will never happen, it’s too ridiculous.

Reparations? Then how about telling all African Americans to pay back how their ancestors came here. It wasn't free, especially back then. It was their own African tribal leaders who sold them away for spices, gold, alcohol etc. DON'T EVER FORGET THAT!! HOW DARE YOU.

I think this graphic explains it best 👍

And now do reparations for Chinese. SF is going to open a pandora box on all the people that Americans have offended

Step 1 - pass reparations Step 2 - watch everyone sue for discrimination and win Step 3 - city and state bankrupt Step 4 - federal gov steps in to bailout city Step 5 - other cities repeat Step 6 - hyperinflation and anarchy Step 7 - dictator steps in Step 8 - the Purge

Where are the adults? GOP needs to step up and ban all Federal Funding to reparations cities and states. Harsh reality should be a chaser.

Possible future Darwin Award Champions on the way!

How to create never ending resentment and dangerously exacerbate our most deeply engrained tensions.

What about dark skinned people descended from white slave owners? Do they get reparations, or pay reparations? Or does it cancel out?

Forcing people who were never slave owners to pay reparations to people who were never slaves is so fucked up only a place like SF could come up with it. Systemic racism is real, no about, but this isn’t remotely any reasonable attempt at a solution.

Was there a lot of slavery going on in San Francisco?🤭

10 millions dollars must be given to every black POC, including recent migrants form Nigeria who work for tech companies and who didn’t have ancestors who were enslaved. Middle class white devils must be taxed to pay for this reparations. This must be done NOW for JUSTICE.

*College tuition free for 200 years *Home loan preferences for 200 years Would be a good start.

People’s Republic of California

To me reparation is for actual victims, not descendants. Only Changes is policy & social attitudes can help descendants.

Well then...

I identify as black.

Sad. They are not realistically doing this. Just an attention grab. Invest in the community and people.

Offer free airfare to Africa. It’s a win win for all.

Tuesday's meeting of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors will include a presentation by San Francisco’s African American Reparations Advisory Committee, which released its draft report in December. The $5 million-per-person payment is among more than 100 recommendations ranging from offering grants to buy and maintain homes to exempting Black businesses from paying taxes.
