San Francisco's reparations committee will propose paying $5million to each longtime black resident of the city in a reparations plan this spring.

To qualify, people need to have identified as black on public records for at least 10 years and be at least 18 years old. They also must qualify for two of a number of requirements, including having been born in the city or migrated to it between 1940 and 1996 and then lived there for 13 years.

It is unclear exactly how many people would qualify should the proposal pass, but if just 10,000 people qualified it would cost at least $50billion. 

The proposal will be submitted to Mayor London Breed and the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and the San Francisco Human Rights Commission in June. Board President Aaron Peskin told the San Francisco Chronicle he hopes the proposal will pass. 

The proposal also offers a number of other requirements to be handed out to qualifiers, including the creation of a 'comprehensive debt forgiveness program' which would eliminate credit card and other debts, along with student and housing loans.

The proposal also says qualifying low-income households should have their income supplemented to match the city's median income - $97,000 in 2022 - for the next 250 years.

'Racial disparities across all metrics have led to a significant racial wealth gap in the City of San Francisco,' the draft states. 

'By elevating income to match AMI, Black people can better afford housing and achieve a better quality of life.'

A number of other proposals include investment in San Francisco's black community, financial education, legal protections of people's reparations, tax credits, and black-owned banks being brought in to manage people's money.

The proposal also says San Francisco 'issue a formal apology for past harms, and commit to making substantial ongoing, systemic and programmatic investments in Black communities to address historical harms.'

Isn't it illegal to collect this information?

This obviously qualifies the Qualified as former slaves... uh... wait...

By whose authority?

In California, and in San Francisco in particular, one can bet on it.

Interesting that one of the qualifications is being a drug dealer who served time. But feels about right.

This discriminates against dealers who didn't serve time, and also against those who served time without dealing.  Obviously a racist and bigoted proposal.

What is clear is the politicians of San Francisco have no issues spending other peoples money as long as it is a woke thing.  Go Woke, Go Broke!

A one-time payment of $5 million to each eligible Black resident is among recommendations unanimously accepted by San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors as part of a draft plan by a panel proposing reparations.

The move Tuesday was an intermediate step, with a final report that includes board feedback due in June, the San Francisco African American Reparations Advisory Committee said, and the board set to meet again on the issue in September.

People applaud chair Kamilah Moore during a reparations task force meeting at Third Baptist Church in San Francisco, Wednesday, April 13, 2022. California's first-in-the-nation reparations task force met for the first time since its inaugural meeting nearly a year ago. The live meeting also comes mere weeks after the group voted to limit restitution to descendants of enslaved or free Black people in the U.S. before the 20th century.

“Now, the real work continues,” Supervisor Shamann Walton said. “As I’ve said before, we have to stay focused and stay together as a community because now it is 100% more prevalent that we cannot be separated or divided.

“Let’s not lose focus because when we receive the final report, we have to actually resource the path forward.”

"Resource" is not a verb.

They'll resource it by raising taxes.

Zero

Makes perfect Democrat/Leftist sense.

 

San Francisco politician pushing for $5m reparations also wants to defund the police, thinks Honduran drug dealers are 'human trafficking victims' and is proposing red light districts all over California to make sex work 'safer'

The question is not "have they lost their minds," but rather "when did they lose their minds."

My additional question is:  How do whackos like this ever get elected to anything?
