These were some of the more than 100 recommendations made by a city-appointed reparations committee tasked with the thorny question of how to atone for centuries of slavery and systemic racism. And 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.
Tuesday’s unanimous expressions of support for reparations by the board do not mean all the recommendations will ultimately be adopted, as the body can vote to approve, reject or change any or all of them. A final committee report is due in June. The idea of paying compensation for slavery has gained traction across cities and universities. In 2020, California became the first state to form a reparations task force and is still struggling to put a price tag on what is owed.In San Francisco, Black residents once made up more than 13% of the city’s population, but more than 50 years later, they account for less than 6% of the city’s residents — and 38% of its homeless population.
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.
Well, that should destroy San Francisco.
Define Black adult.
I come from a family of Irish indentured slaves. Where is my money?
Asians and Mexicans better be exempt from having to pay reparations
Nice clickbait article. This was a list of ideas from everyone, not things being actually planned.
It's called how fast can you get productive people to move the hell out of California.
I’m white, and I’d like to know where I can pick up my generational wealth? I didn’t realize I was entitled to it this whole time until BLM told me all the whites had it. I’m pretty sure nobody in my family knew about it either. Feel dumb right now.
Sucks to live there. Too bad they don’t support police the same way.
Kind of a misleading headline. The actual report states these were some of hundreds of ideas- and not grouped as one solution as you have listed here. But inciting anger=clickbait so good job I guess?
That’s a little much
San Francisco never had slaves !
Abandon San Francisco, if this happens the city will fall, literally
It's unconstitutional. If elected leaders put this into law, it would be a violation of everyone else's civil rights. This would allow all citizens in SF to sue the city and the state for discrimination and preferential treatment.
I would say ship them back to Africa so they can get reparations from their ancestors who sold them
I would say ship themback to Africa so they can get reparations from their ancestors who sold them
Hahahahahahahahaha…….wait this is real?!
I’m black from the waist down. Does that count?
I would like to identify myself as a black gay man.
If that’s the case, I consider myself a black adult
San Francisco is going to hell in a hand basket
America gave 100’s of BILLONS to Ukraine with a signature. Pay us out money. All 50 states owe us. Anyway.
Crump and Sharpton and the California government will steal it all. Everyone else will get crumbs. They won’t know what hit them.
Unconstitutional. Period.
I hope they do it just so the rest of the country can sit back and laugh at all of the unintentional consequences caused by this idiocy.
There were slaves in SF? This is news to me.
Not going to happen
Sign the contract San Francisco but pay more. Why be so cheap, we are talking reparations. Pay more San Francisco!!! Lock it in.
49.31% of non white San Fran residents to pay ReparationsNow to African Americans (5.1%)?🤔 Native Americans (.40%) Asian (34.90%) Pacific Islander (.43%) Some other race (7.89%) Two or more races (5.69%) From 1870-1940, blacks were less than 1% of SF population. Asinine idea!
You know they’re smoking something lol
I identify as black!
🤡🌎
The history of slavery in San Francisco began with the enslavement of indigenous Californians in the 1700’s. African slavery started in the mid 1800’s. Maybe reparations need to be made to all that were enslaved and not just those of African decent.
That’s a big fuggin nope! Negatory… hell to the no… I don’t think so…
Crazy people do crazy things. Who is going to pay for all of this?
Good time to be a drug dealer in SF
Watch what this will do . . . Been done before . . . Check how welfare has gained in such communities
Haha.. not a single person will remain in San Francisco to pay for this.
😂🤡
F that
Just look at the struggles on indian reservations in the US and tell me that gov't basic income helps people thrive. The reality is that it only creates dependence and ends in gov't oppression. Dont be fooled, that is the true motivation behind these 'big hearted' politicians.
So a state that never had black slaves, is going to pay 5m to people who were never slaves from taxpayers who never owned slaves. California did have Chinese and Irish slaves, where are their reparations?
This is so fucking funny What a hilariously predictable disaster
Blacks should compensate Mexicans for profiting from their land
What about the Chicanos striving to come up as well ?
Fuck that bullshit . I don’t remember any slaves picking cotton in golden gate park . This shit is out of control
Where are they going to get the money?
I identify as black and am willing beat up unsuspecting old Asian ladies on walkers to prove it
i am black man, but not where it counts.
This is absurd. Another reason to leave CA!
BLM ass kissers 🤮
Y’all already know damn well, something like this will never happen.
We all gonna 'protest' if we don't get checks too. Pay everyone !!!
Pay the Irish let's go
And where will the money come from? From the public who were not even here during that time and never had a slaves? This state has really gone mental. It's about Democratsand BLM mentality.
What about Native American Indians and Mexicans?
I'm Native American. Hello? Reparation is absolutely needed here! Smh.
What are they going to give to the Asians, Mexicans, native Americans, and everyone else? Whose ancestor isn’t a victim of history, of war?
I would say ship them back to Africa to get their reparations from their ancestors who sold them
Shameless !
Girl
THATS CRAZY STUPID!
Christopher_fg2
Surly this is a joke 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,' I would think it would be CHANGE!!!
😂
These people are sad. You could give them millions and they would still want something. All the money in the world won’t give them what they want. They will blow it all on cars, drugs alcohol, gambling you name it
Lol 😂
What about the Mexicans?
San Francisco was México 🇲🇽 and it was Stolen from the rightful Owners, México! So how are you going to ask for a claim like this, That’s Crazy. Who ever try to pass this must of been smoking some of that Good Friday Shichhhhh. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Hilarious
This woman and her whole administration need to be investigated and charged and removed from office for not only stealing money but having the audacity to do it in your face and act as tho it’s a public decision when it’s the govts own I guess we’re not a democracy
BLM part ii maybe this time they won’t steal it oh wait they will, the shams the gvt uses to trick ppl to steal money is comical and only the lowest common denominators with no thinking skills would support this they’re thieves plain and simple, remove this woman from office
Corruption spell it with me, STEAL
I love she says it’s for the future so I guess she won’t be spending it anytime soon then saving it for the future yea mmhmm my ass. What policies are oppressing you? Also why are we paying reparations for people who are from the past and nobody is alive from that era anymore?
No way am I paying taxes to contribute to this.
Californians is Time for a change! GO Desantis
My white ancestor from Wales was pressed on board a Brittish ship in 1593 and at age 15 or less jumped ship in what is now Rhode Island. Thus, he was a slave. We have documentation. Where is my check?
So what about US, 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐🙄😳 The Native Americans, and why only CA smdh 💀🫤
Talk about inflation!
Love to hear it!!!
Reparations ReparationsNow
Never mind the fact that California was never ever a slave state...
The problem with this is that Asian, Native, Middle Eastern heritage citizens have to pay for something neither they nor their ancestors were responsible for.
The Chinese had it worse in SF
Don’t hold your breath
I'm gonna submit my request with my profile picture
WHAT? !!
I’m here to watch people melt down if this happens. 🍿👀
Crazy that anybody would think this will happen.
🤡🌎
As a Native American born and raised in America with half of my family immigrating from poland and being poor white people I can’t believe this. It’s ridiculous reparations do more harm than good in cases where these people were not directly effected by anything personally
I don’t understand why they don’t just take all of the homes in San Francisco away from the white families and re-distribute them to the black families.
I’m Mexican, California was Mexico. Although I was born in the 90’s I want land in compensation for it being stolen, thanks
This is ridiculous.
SMH
This lie is all to keep the Blacks down and for them to vote their democrat masters in place so they can be controlled.. WAKE UP PEOPLE AND STOP BEING VICTIMS… Democrats OWN YOU AND HAVE FOR 20 years…SMDH
Here’s a better idea: QuietQuitBlacks
🤦🏻♂️‼️
Time to boycott SF and have business move out!! Start the trend now!!
I was not here nor were my ancestors during that time.. so keep your hands off my money..
Can non-black SF residents that prove they’re descendants of former slaves qualify too? Only seems far, right?
Another attempt to play victim to this so called oppression. Black Americans don’t like to work and it’s an epidemic. They want handouts for everything. EBT, section 8, EDD, when does it end?
That’s not the way to go about this we have to support people of low income, people who need assistance give micro loans to businesses that we should not distinguish on color anymore. Let’s just go by socioeconomic if social economic is benefiting Black people then great
Well your never going to fix something that’s not fixable! If we’re still crying about the past you have no future!!!quit kicking a dead horse,we’re all slaves to all the lies you can’t pay everyone!take your own and go home!!
And free weed for the rest of the life
What a joke!!!!!!!!!
this is never going to happen but in the off chance it does they need to start with the japanese that they took everything from when they threw them in the concentration camps. And that actually HAPPENED in California
You would think San Franciscans would be more worried about paying the Chinese back for building their city........
The swamp will say anything to get a black vote..just like student debt ..it will never happen ..!
Once they prove they were slaves in California, sure. That's going to be a long wait though. 🤡🌎
Hear me out. Give the land back to Mexico and then the reparations become their problema.
Is this like some some Ali G shit.
That’s fucking ridiculous.. watch the fentanyl use skyrocket
Why should innocent people have to pay for something some people did over a hundred years ago? Also black people aren't the only ones who have been discriminated against.
Nope.
Bait
Hope they get it. 🤞🤞
Hahahhaha
This real?
🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
Sounds doable….
All great civilizations rise and fall. It all had to end sometime. 🙃
What a joke!! Who in their right mind would come up w and who would allow this? Oh, it has Ruinsomes approval. Ok..normal for Ca
Where is the dislike button?
Equal protection violation! What about other mjnorities?
Black men got voting and homeowners rights 30 years prior then white women (and all women) and women get paid less still. We had a black male president. Never a woman. And men can dress up as women. But not as blacks. Women are oppressed
I need to go to Home Depot and buy some black paint lol 😂
? What!
I’d rather see that money go to fighting the slavery that exists today and prevent it from happening again. But go ahead and do this so you can pander for votes and desperately try to keep people in this fucked up state.
How about suppressed Asian descendants? Please stop monetizing skin colors
Hahahahahha yall smoking krackkkkkkkkkk smoke 🚬 Crack
I missed the part im history where CA was a slave state
On whose money? Tax payers money? Fking no. You want to pay those, use your own fking money.
I am black
This is just to “ask for the moon and negotiate down from there” The proper response is to nip it in the bud and use the ridiculousness against them by pushing forward an item to make reparations limited to recent, direct acts which undermines going back generations.
Why don’t they put the money into the black community (Schools/Housing/Education…etc). Feels like a giant virtue signal.
😂😂😂
So should we all identify as black?
What a joke!
Ridiculous. Every hardworking, sane person in California should CONDEM this immediately! How about American Indians, Japanese, etc. This is REPULSIVE and unfair to other repressed races. Another reason to MOVE the hell out of that dump of a city called San Francisco!
I identify as a black trans he/she, I want 15 million !!
So many people will be moving yet again…. So sad that rather than spend taxpayer money for all the taxpayers the system would rather divide people and destroy a state
y'all need to read the actual article before commenting... this is probably the worst worded title/caption I've ever read.
Will Mayor Breed be eligible for the 5 million dollar payment?
Here comes the lawsuit's. In the end every entitled recipient will get a check worth $3.52
Can my Mexican A$$ get money too
California has always been a free state but ok! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
