Black migration to San Francisco soared in the 1940s because of shipyard work, but racially restrictive covenants and redlining limited where people could live. When Black residents were able to build a thriving neighborhood in the Fillmore, government redevelopment plans in the 1960s forced out residents, stripped them of their property and decimated Black-owned businesses, advocates say.
Supporters include the San Francisco NAACP, although it said the board should reject the $5 million payments and focus instead on reparations through education, jobs, housing, health care and a cultural center for Black people in San Francisco. The president of the San Francisco branch is the Rev. Amos C. Brown, who sits on both the statewide and San Francisco reparations panels.
A 2022 Pew Research Center survey found 68% of U.S. respondents opposed reparations compared with 30% in favor. Nearly 80% of Black people surveyed supported reparations. More than 90% of Republicans or those leaning Republican opposed reparations while Democrats and those leaning Democratic were divided.It’s not clear. The advisory committee that made the recommendations says it is not its job to figure out how to finance San Francisco’s atonement and repair.
Recommendations in health include free mental health, prenatal care and rehab treatment for impoverished Black San Franciscans, victims of violent crimes and formerly incarcerated people.
The same people who give out the reparations, will create ways to reap what they sow…. New high cost pay for learning training, crappy, contracting companies, Automobile loans with no credit check, the list goes on. The money will stay in the pockets of the deciders.
Next step is scammers, hitting San Francisco
So some people were smarter acted faster put there people in good position, there is no crying in baseball if every single black person alive suffered the same fate you might say something but thousand of blacks thrived so again, some people smarter or faster! go home
Let’s have a big BBQ with some tater salad corn cobs, we can have a good old fashion hanging right the on the mayors steps, and then what if you giving out shit the rest of us need repaired also we houses cars cash prizes TVs who MC of this make it count people!!
🤡🌎
NOT A DAMN THING!!
i m going to start to id as black american & will start transition process then i will id as mexican american detrans from being black & start tansition process to be mexican am 👍🏽 thank u society
If that's the case then reparations for native people first, then Mexican Americans, then the Chinese Americans, then Japanese Americans. The United states never allowed slavery from Africa so san Francisco would be stupid to give out those 5 million
The whole idea is absurd and it must not go forward.
After Black folks, it's Land Reparation for the Mexican American's ancestral lands. AZTLAN !!
the next thing is we point and laugh at them because it’s never going to happen
Stupid.
🇺🇸✊🏿🇺🇸✊🏿🇺🇸✊🏿🇺🇸
LOL! They're really doing this! I can't stop laughing.
I have nothing else to say on this but this is some dumb shit. entitlement the fullest.
Since we’re playing victim, do residents who were victims of black crimes get reparations too?
Fleece the money from people who never owned slaves of course.
Can we solve the rampant violent homeless drug addict problem before we try tackling fake problems?
$5 million dollars in unmarked bills and a fully fueled 747.
I assume talk of City budget deficits is just a right wing scare tactic since the City must still has more money than it knows what to do with. Either that, or this is a political ploy by cynical progressive politicians who know not one penny in reparations will ever be paid.
