Progressive city’s Board of Supervisors meeting to debate reparations recommendations despite backlash
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors is meeting Tuesday to review a proposal to dole out $5 million each to qualifying Black residents in reparations as a way to make amends for slavery.
At the board meeting, the city’s African American Reparations Advisory Committee will present the controversial idea, along with dozens of other recommendations from its draft reparations plan released in December.
The other recommendations range from offering grants to buy and maintain homes to exempting Black businesses from paying taxes. But the $5 million lump-sum payment has garnered the most attention — and controversy.
The Board of Supervisors can vote to adopt all, none or some of the committee’s recommendations and even change them. Tuesday’s hearing was originally scheduled for last month but was postponed.
hahahahahaha there is no way or nobdy will qualify
There will be a SHOOTING WAR before that happens !!!! Crossing the LINE !!!
I’m of Irish Ancestry. Shouldn’t I be paid reparations for the loss of my land and homeland due to forced servitude to English and to the colonies? Same for the Scots being forced off their land and moved to Canada?
White people have also been enslaved as well as all races in the past and present.
All this will do is create more hatred and resentment on all sides.
No Slaves here alive today & No Slave Owners so WHERE is the Logic ??? NOT HAPPENING !!!!
Black Racist today are Painting a WHOLE Culture & Race (WHITE ) as being BAD or SLAVE OWNERS !!!
