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.

#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?

#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.

#3  Whether Ukrainian financial support, reparations or international climate change wealth redistribution is the highest priority would make a great debate question.

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

Another racket is born.
Next up, were you a victim of human trafficing for sex or drug running by the cartels?

#1   descended from a 19th century black slave

So descendants of the enslaved Indians, Chinese and oppressed European migrants get nothin?
