Will a plan to give $5 million to every black person in San Francisco be redress for years of suffering...or woke posturing that stokes race hate and bankrupts the US?
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • San Francisco's reparation committee said eligible black citizens get £4 million

  • That is if they can prove that they are descended from a 19th century black slave
    So much for that, but it was fun while it lasted.

#1  descended from a 19th century black slave

#2 That is if they can prove that they are descended from a 19th century black slave

#4 Initial estimate is that 2 million out of 2.6 million black residents will qualify. I'm sure they can and will cook the books better than that. So, in other words the nation truly has fallen and the enemy is looting the Treasury.

#5 Since there was never slavery in California--it skipped the territory route and was admitted as a free state in 1850--one wonders who there is eligible for this. Maybe it is just showboating?
