The year is off to a great start in San Francisco for those lucky enough to belong to the most privileged and entitled racial group. For the rest of us, not so much.
The New York Post reports:
Mayor Daniel Lurie quietly signed a questionable bill to create a reparations fund for black residents — but acknowledged the city is too broke to pay …
San Fransicko’s deficit is approaching $1 billion. This illustrates why federal taxpayers will be forced to finance California insanity if Democrats regain control in DC. Not that “reparations” will be limited to the Land of Fruits and Nuts if that disaster befalls us.
The bill, which was passed unanimously by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors earlier this month, creates a fund to accept private or public money for a controversial reparations plan that calls for cash payouts of $5 million each to eligible black residents, debt forgiveness, 250 years of tax abatements, and income subsidies.
Racial preferences in government programs are banned under the constitution, according to Andrew Quinio, attorney at the Pacific Legal Foundation. “The ordinance has a very explicit racially discriminatory purpose,” he said.
The bill, authored by Supervisor Shamann Walton, states that the fund is intended to “provide restitution, compensation, and rehabilitation to individuals who are black and/or descendants of a chattel enslaved person and have experienced a proven harm in San Francisco.”
Walton previously called for a $50 million Office of Reparations in 2023, but was rebuffed by then-mayor London Breed.
Advocates for the program argue that reparations are needed to support black communities who suffered under discriminatory government projects like a decades-long redevelopment of the city’s Fillmore district that razed homes owned by black families.
A prior effort to aid the city’s black communities under Breed, called the Dream Keeper Initiative, erupted into scandal after its director was accused of pilfering city funds for personal needs, like her son’s UCLA tuition.
The Human Rights Commission, the same department that ran the ill-fated Dream Keeper Initiative, is in charge of the reparations fund, according to the city.
“People are livid. Lurie’s stained his reputation,” said local conservative activist Richie Greenberg.
Other critics piled on after Lurie clandestinely signed the bill just before Christmas.
“Even the San Francisco NAACP called the $5M payout ‘arbitrary’ and warned the plan gave ‘false hope.’ But that didn’t stop city leaders from pushing it forward with virtue-signaling fanfare,” wrote author Gerald Posner, who grew up in San Francisco, on X.
No worries. Democrat control will mean packing the Supreme Court with libtard apparatchiks like Ketanji Brown Jackson, rendering the US Constitution null and void.
San Francisco is facing a two-year deficit as high as $936 million as spending outpaces revenues in the city of roughly 800,000 people.

At this point the E.S.T. meme is comical. A rich jew is giving away other people's money that in fact doesn't even exist at this point. I really don't want to come across as antisemitic, but it just seems to happen all the time. That said, this is more rich liberal crap from the minds of the great progressives who have no other motive than to destroy the middle class. And nothing is better than giving away someone else's money.
Short version. If you want to cater and be a hero to the libtards and mud hut people you promise "reparations" and other freebies ... even if you can't deliver.
Deleteit will never stand up in court.
ReplyDeleteBut think of the black eyes that will be gotten by anyone who tries to oppose it.
DeleteThere you go, rickn8or.
DeleteIf I had it in me....I would go to Cali and pick up a black chick and move in with her. Once she gets that 5 mill check; I would break up with her and split that money. I mean why not; seems that every time a black chick gets pregos; the sperm donor goes for cigs and milk and never returns.
ReplyDeleteSeems to me that with my idea; at least she gets some money..........
