- Slavery in the United States ended over 150 years ago.
- Nobody alive today in the U.S. was ever a slave.
- California was never a slave state.
- Nobody alive today in the U.S. ever owned slaves.
Yet radical leftist politicians in San Francisco want to use taxpayer money to pay "reparations" to qualified blacks for slavery. This loony idea would be a total gross misuse of taxpayer funds, to put it mildly.
From Fox News:
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors is meeting Tuesday to review a proposal to dole out $5 million each to qualifying Black residents in reparations as a way to make amends for slavery.
At the board meeting, the city's African American Reparations Advisory Committee will present the controversial idea, along with dozens of other recommendations from its draft reparations plan released in December.
The other recommendations range from offering grants to buy and maintain homes to exempting Black businesses from paying taxes. But the $5 million lump-sum payment has garnered the most attention — and controversy.
The Board of Supervisors can vote to adopt all, none or some of the committee's recommendations and even change them. Tuesday's hearing was originally scheduled for last month but was postponed.
