The slave state of San Francisco is moving forward on a plan to pay reparations for generations of slavery under the Bay Area Confederacy. And all it will take is $600,000 from every non-black family in the area.
“San Francisco’s African American Reparations Advisory Committee submitted a proposal to the city’s Human Rights Commission that would pay every eligible African American adult living in San Francisco $5 million. The report calls for 18 other financial recommendations, including the cancellation of personal debts, annual income supplements for 250 years, and the conversion of public housing to condominiums that would be gifted to recipients.”
The cost, “presented on a per-household basis, will be nearly $600,000 per non–African American San Francisco household.”
And that’s a conservative estimate.
The major cost component of the proposal is the $5 million payment for each eligible African American who is 18 years or older. The Census Bureau estimates there are 46,466 African Americans in San Francisco. Among them are about 35,445 individuals who are 18 years or older, given the age distribution of the African American population.
Paying $5 million to 35,455 individuals totals about $175 billion. To put this in perspective, the city’s budget for the current fiscal year is $14 billion, while this proposed sum exceeds the current state budgets of all US states except for California, New York, and Texas.
The Associated Press is shocked to discover that not everyone is on board with mass economic suicide in a city with a large Asian population that had as much to do with slavery as Willie Brown did with the Opium War.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors hearing the report for the first time Tuesday voiced enthusiastic support for the ideas listed, with some saying money should not stop the city from doing the right thing.
True. But the right thing isn’t paying people millions of other people’s money on account of their skin color, but locking up the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in Alcatraz and recouping the money by conducting tours so people can see lunatics in their native environment.
Several supervisors said they were surprised to hear pushback from politically liberal San Franciscans apparently unaware that the legacy of slavery and racist policies continues to keep black Americans on the bottom rungs of health, education and economic prosperity, and overrepresented in prisons and homeless populations.
Shocking that people are resistant to a $600,000 cost to their household so Willie Brown and Kamala Harris can get even richer.
“Those of my constituents who lost their minds about this proposal, it’s not something we’re doing or we would do for other people. It’s something we would do for our future, for everybody’s collective future,” said Supervisor Rafael Mandelman, whose district includes the heavily LGBTQ Castro neighborhood.
Nothing says our collective future like looting everyone’s incomes for generations to come.
Critics say the payouts make no sense in a state and city that never enslaved Black people. Opponents generally say taxpayers who were never slave owners should not have to pay money to people who were not enslaved.
Go figure.
Justin Hansford, a 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.
So is “you’re fired” and “we’re never funding your institution again with any of our cash”.
It’s a language people understand.
Tinisch Hollins, vice-chair of the African American Reparations Advisory Committee, alluded to those comments, and several people who lined up to speak reminded the board they would be watching closely what the supervisors do next.
“I don’t need to impress upon you the fact that we are setting a national precedent here in San Francisco,” Hollins said. “What we are asking for and what we’re demanding for is a real commitment to what we need to move things forward.”
Okay San Fran, ball’s in your court. If you really believe your virtue signaling, then it’s time to hand people millions of dollars for being black while devastating everyone in the area but a handful of billionaires.
Do it for equity, diversity, inclusion and mass economic suicide.
Then set an economic precedent so no politician will ever consider this again.
Just another example of extortion by the African community against white people. If the city of San Francisco approves this plan in any form, it will result in many people leaving San Francisco all together.
There is not a single reason for any Black person to receive a single dime from White people. In fact, every Black person should pay for all the damage they have done to the United States since 1865. I might add that slavery existed in Africa for hundreds and hundreds of years. It only existed for 80 years in the United States.
Black slavery was suppressed by white people.
And when when did the Saudis abolish slavery? 1966? Or did they?
Officially it ended in 1962 – but there are still two Islamofascist colonies in Africa with Black slavery
Saudi Arabia still to this dat uses slavery, so does Qatar, China and India
You forget Mauritania
Try slavery existed in Africa for 1,000 yrs before a white man ever stepped foot on that continent.
hope they pull it off………that’ll take care of the San Fran virus
hope they pull it off…………….that’ll solve the San Fran virus problem
oops posted twice …sorry, folks
Man, I’m going to start saying I’m black. I want in on some of this free cash. You may think I’m joking but I’m not. Who knows how many government bennies I would be eligible for.
The descendants of slaves owe America for their very existence. Slaves that weren’t purchased from the Africans that enslaved them were killed by their captors, often in horrible ways, just for entertainment. Slavery existed in Africa for thousands and thousands of years, at least five millennia in Egypt.
Repatriation is another matter. I’d chip in to buy passage to any descendant of slaves to the country of their choice, as long as they renounce their citizenship to this ‘awful’ place. before they board.
Thanks Cowboy, I think slavery goes back into pre-history, one of the oldest human institutions.
It does. slavery existed in the “Epic of Gilagmesh.”and that’s’ the oldest “epic’ that exists . so far as we know.
it was a a good read.
Thanks Jeff, I was actually thinking about Gilgamesh when I posted 🙂
There will be race riots galore — by whites — if this goes through!
lol, the comedy continues 🙂
I don’t know who makes the decision to actually hand out the cash, but this vote was purely symbolic, or for show, political theater, as no actual cash is being handed out yet, nor does this commit the city to hand out the cash.
I suppose at some point there will be an actual budget and a vote on it.
I guess it is hard to see the comedy in the situation, unless one has been following the antics of the San Francisco Board of Stupidvisors for 50 years 🙂
Fifty years? Damn you’re even older than me! “)
They may have something on the Atlanta City Council, but not much. ATL had their meetings televised on cable for years, but stopped doing it because they were such idiots, and people were making fun of them. I wasn’t living in ATL then, so it was comedy gold to watch emma darnell and the gang bloviating and trying to act smart. I cut the cable, so I don’t know if they ever started televising them again.
According to Sanford Professor Donald Harris, his daughter Kamala benefitted greatly from her family owning over 200 human beings they kept over 5 plantations. Actual slave owners should be the first ones to pony up some cash, and leave those whose families weren’t here to pay last. Slave owners should be at the front of the line for paying.
I meant “Stanford”, not Sanford.
Sanford and Son?
“”Lizabeth! I’m comin’!”
“You ‘ol Fish-eyed fool!”
“Watch it, sucka!”
To satisfactorily understand our new policy, one must appreciate that calzones does not translate as a heated Italian sandwich.
To wit:
Manos arriba!
Calzones abajo!
That you for your circumspect observation of the rules that make us proud of our democracy.
Actually, calzones ARE Italian “Sandwiches.” I make them home made and they’re restaurant quality.The secret is ricoctta cheese and diced sopressata sausage.
Same word. Slightly different meaning.
One of my experiments has been comparing calzones and pizzas of the same type. For some reason the pizzas taste better to me.
There is no place on earth, or in history, where one race (white), who are the majority and in power, has voluntarily acquiesced and surrendered it’s status, and allowed discrimination against themselves to benefit a racial minority (blacks) that make up 13% of the population. NO WHERE ON EARTH.
Can you imagine Arabs discriminating against themselves to favor blacks?
Does anyone think the blacks, who are in the majority in some countries ,would do anything remotely close to what whites are doing here in the US to themselves? Anywhere blacks have been in the majority they have been known to be ruthless oppressors of other minorities.
This is pathetic beyond belief.
The thieves and criminals who have infiltrated the government are planning to get a big cut of the rip-off money. Make no mistakes about it.
The further the criminals and thieves in the government push this grand theft agenda, the more likely it will be that the only solution will be an uprising to remove any and all criminals from the government and show them their place.
The issue is so absurd it doesn’t merit serious discussion but then it’s San Francisco. What I find most interesting is the fact that people continue to live there.
Officially it ended in 1962 – but there are still two Islamofascist colonies in Africa with Black slavery
Which ones? I think there’s more than two.
A lot of them still have slavery sub-rosa.
SF is only about 40% white and about 5% black. That’s mean the majority of the population is non-white. Imagine being of Asian or Hispanic descent and forced to pay big bucks to the black thieves.
Hopefully, if this actually passes (which I hope it does), everybody not black leaves SF. What would the blacks do then? The ensuing fun should be televised for entertainment value as to what happens when you let the dumbest segment of the population make the rules.
And now that black people in S.F. have been amped up to believe they are all about to become multi-millionaires, be given houses in the city for $1, have all their debts extinguished, and be paid nearly $100,000 per year for the next 250 years (all of which are actually being considered in S.F.), what happens when this fairytale doesn’t come true?
“what happens when this fairytale doesn’t come true?”
Oh, that’s simple. The feral blacks riot.
with lots of help from from feral white misfits.
While the feral blacks riot, the more civilized blacks will make speeches about this being just another example of white promises not kept due to racism.
We both know. The negroes will go berserk. Well, more berserk than usual.
Maybe San Francisco should establish a “sister city” arrangement with some place in Wakanda?
The white apes live in the mountains of Wakanda. Sounds like a good place to me.
Does Will Smith qualify?
Yes he does……………
Make the DNC pay it back since their the Party that Bought, Sold, Traded, Abused Slaves and Separated Families
Reparations will erase the moral debt that some Americans believe is owed to the descendants of slaves. At the same time it brings to light another debt that has never been addressed.. The northern states went to war to end slavery at ruinous cost. It is reasonable that this unpaid debt should be assumed by the descendants of the people who benefited from it. Hundreds of thousands of young farm boys and factory workers from Maine. Vermont, Connecticut, New York, Ohio, and other places who never saw a slave, or profited from slavery, gave their lives to liberate strangers from bondage. Decency, as well as the honor of black Americans, demands that this overdue debt in blood and treasure be repaid.
Agreed…………………
What of the debt that was never paid to the poor Southern farmers whose lives and livelihoods were destroyed by Sherman’s Total War and the following Reconstruction?
Yeah, the South probably lost more from the war then they ever gained from slavery.
Maybe Yellen will loan SF the printing press.
It is apparently a lot of fun to USE the power of government to rob citizens of their money & spend it for them. It is so…Communist
A fool and his money are soon parted
The nature of this reparations plan is a civil forfeiture demanded from innocent people for other people based on the race of the recipients in violation of civil rights law and the Constitution.
How about reparations for descendants of WHITE slaves in America? We have proofs that one of our ancestors came to Jamestown as an indentured servant. Many indentured servants became such voluntarily, and many became such because they were criminals and traded servitude in the colonies for execution in England. White indentured servants were slaves. They were bought and sold in Maryland, Virgina and the Carolinas (Albemarle), and they were treated in the same ways as black slaves. Shippers who brought white slaves the colonies were given 50 acres of land per head.
Hope they stick it all on the white liberals in SF who are so politically correct. Serve them right.
“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,”
Ok, no dispute with that. But maybe we should reconsider the +amount+. You bid $5 million. My counter bid is $2, and that discharges all debt and any further discussion of this.
I didn’t see anything mentioned in the article about, “Joe’s,” cut, you know he is getting one, he was a black slave in his earlier years.
He sure was! How do you think he knew that Corn Pop was a bad dude!
If you do a proper cost analysis Blacks owe Whites for slavery.
Brown people took more white slaves than white people took brown during the 300 years of the Atlantic slave trade
Whites freed whole countries and continents from rampant slavery eradicating a good share of it
The intracontinental slave trade in Africa was so brutal that 90% of slaves died during the crossing and their transportation. All males were neutered. You were lucky if you made the crossing.
The reasons continue and it’s endless
Sounds like the board is comprised of a bunch of crackheads.
Time for another Bruce Willis movie ESCAPE FROM SAN FRANCISCO
“Gilgamesh.” i don’t know how I fucked that up.
I was reading about black slavery (of other blacks) and black human sacrifice of other blacks in West Africa in the 1890s last night. In a book by Baden-Powell about an expedition to wipe that slavery and human sacrifice out that he was part of.
“Downfall of Prempeh” was the title of the book.
Human sacrifice by black kings of other blacks reminded me of the Aztec human sacrifices.
Go ahead and give them $5 million. Or even $10 million each.
Within a couple of years they’ll be broke and demanding more. They’ll spend it on bling, shiny objects and fine silk to wear to Popeye’s.
Also drugs and alcohol, loose women and fast cars.
And weave! Don’t forget the weave!!! Not within a couple of years will they demand more. They will demand more immediately and will never stop demanding.
And one other thing: Six months after they move into their new luxurious homes for $1.00, those homes will look just as broken down and awful as the ones in Detroit or Baltimore.
I have a simple proposal to deal with the reparations question, based on the Presidential Campaign check-off on the tax forms. Those who think they are morally obligated to grant reparations can check one box, and specify the amount or percentage they feel they owe, which will be added to their tax due. Those who feel they are *owed* can check a separate box. And the money from the first group can be divided up and credited to the second.
Thanks Raymond, very clever 🙂
There should be a demand for an immediate election to get rid of these lunatics
I don’t recall ever learning about the black slave trade in San Francisco so why does the city owe reparations? If this passes, I don’t know if there will be money to pay every black person $5 million but they will be able to buy a house for $1.00 because all the houses will be vacant since every non-black person will be gone. Before any black person gets reparations for not being a slave, by people who never owned black slaves, force them to pay for all the crime, all the riots, all the welfare, EBT cards, MediCal,, etc. — everything. Then when the tab has been paid, we can talk about “reparations”. Not one second before.
