San Franciscans line up at board meeting
to sing and shout their support for a
reparations plan to give every black resident
$5M, wipe personal debt, provide $97K
incomes and homes for just $1 - and no
one asks how the city will foot the bill

San Francisco residents lined up at a city board meeting last night to share their full-throated support of a wide-eyed reparations plan that would award every black resident $5million, wipe their personal debt, guarantee $97,000 incomes for 250 years and $1 homes.
But no one at the emotional meeting - where residents burst into song and begged to be made 'whole' - asked how the struggling, debt-addled city might pay for it.
Reparations are being considered in various Democratic cities around America as a means of providing compensation to the descendants of enslaved African-Americans.

It will never happen. This is only designed to keep Black voters voting Democrat, just like LBJ said back in the 60s, but using much cruder language.

Agree #1; at least except to the extent it has already happened over the last 50 years.
One thing is for sure: none of the individuals agitating for this largesse will pay ANY of it.
Something for nothing has always appealed to Dims- and of course it always involves stealing, money and/or votes.

Stuff like this is called voter candy. All paid for with tax increases in the rich and other new taxes yet to be imposed.

So what if your African American ancestor was owned by a Native American in the Native American territories (Currently known as Oklahoma), do you get full reparations or double because both races were oppressed?

IF reparations are ever given it will have to be with tax money. In such a case every white person in the country should stop paying taxes.

They should have loudly announced to those protesting for the 'reparations' payments that they should line up and register to be the first ones designated to PAY the reparations. I predict the volume of the protests will suddenly shrink significantly.

Blacks don't realize it yet, but all those reparations will be worthless. There will be nothing of value behind them.

Total insanity. When are blacks going to realize that they have been on the democratic plantation for over 200 years. The only difference is the date, instead of the 1800's we are now in 2023. But, the rules are the same, zero education. Democrats have always and still are against the education of blacks. Look at every democratic run city and their agenda. They are against school choice, school voucher programs and charter schools. Over 60% of blacks in those cities never graduate high school and none can even pass basic math or english tests. When are these people going to wake up.

Like the promise to "wipe out" student debt, this is just the latest Dem vote buying scheme.
Step 1: Promise free stuff to the voter base.
Step 2: Attempt to implement.
Step 3: Opponents block the plan due illegalities or lack of funds.
Step 4; Dems blame evil Republicans for preventing reparations.
Step 5: Sheeple blame the Republicans.

Let's say there are 40,000,000 African-Americans living in the United States, and all are decendants of slavery. If you gave each person $5,000,000 that would be $200,000,000,000,000 (two hundred trillion).
Then, provide $97,000 per year income (would require at least $2,000,000 producing roughly 5% return), and they want to provide this income for 250 years? Long after you've passed?
As far as the $1 for a house? Let's have Nancy Pelosi be the first to offer her home for $1.

#14, Blacks comprise only 5% of the population in San Francisco. While the city has, unfortunately, a high number of left-wing grifters, most residents are like Americans everywhere. This reparation
scheme will never happen. It’s designed to agitate black people who are ignorant to vote for their Democrat masters in 2024.

Ought to be a real fun time when reality hits and of course this will never happen. They will certainly then feel twice denied - and will react predictably. And it's that predictability that tells me whatever s*show that evolves was intended. Like so many times thus far...

Second, this is the mindset that thinks it is just fine for packs of hooded negroes to sweep clean the shelves of retail stores,
And third, beat the brains out of frail old Asians on their way home. --MAGA

"as a means of providing compensation to the descendants of enslaved African-Americans. "
Will anybody dare insist that applicants for the handouts prove that they actually descend from somebody who was actually an enslaved African-American? Anybody?

The cure for these “woke” citizens and board members would be requiring them to earn and donate some of their own money or possessions, rather than merely passing or forcing the responsibility on to someone, anyone, else. Screw them!

Hope they took names of the woke idiots lining up to support the reparations plan. That way, they can send the bill to pay for it directly to them. If they do give out reparations, the recipients should immediately be ineligible for any federal, state, or local social benefits like welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, disability, housing assistance, child care subsidies, educational subsidies, and the like. This would be because their assets and income would exceed the limits to receive them. They will not know what to do without their government assistance even though they will have plenty of unearned reparations money and the cries of discrimination and helplessness will be heard far and wide. How dare they cut government benefits!

Hmm! $5,000,000 could be invested at 4% to earn an extra $200,000 per annum, making the total cash payment $297,000 Then the $1 rent would be equivalent to adding at least the minimum current rent in that city, which is rather high. Wow! A new elite class that would never need to work again! Unless, of course, they frittered it all away.

If this goes through, then those who get all this, forfeit any and all public assistance benefits for life since they obviously have enough cash to get by.

Funny, but the only "San Franciscans" celebrating the giveaway I saw were, shall I say, of a certain similar epidural pigmentation. No Asians to be found. Not even any progressive whites, and certainly, no mere latinos/hispanics. So it is again, as always true, that in order to determine the motivation behind any action, one must always ask, "Cui bono?" and the answer usual becomes crystal clear.

If a white slave owner owned a female black slave and had a white child with her, does that make his descendants eligible for the cash?
