These were some of the more than 100 recommendations made by a city-appointed reparations committee tasked with the thorny question of how to atone for centuries of slavery and systemic racism. And the San Francisco Board of Supervisors hearing the report for the first time Tuesday voiced enthusiastic support for the ideas listed, with some saying money should not stop the city from doing the right thing.

And almost every race and ethnicity has been slaves of someone at some time. Some need to be told it’s 2023. Time to grow a pair

There's a pretty large chasm between growing a pair, and being a full-blown slave-owner apologist. Neither you, or anybody else clearing that gap.

May I recommend that when you're veiling your blatantly racist rhetoric, you use something a tad thicker than the whataboutism-equivalent of ultra-sheer pantyhose.

KInda judgy aren't we? From respect for combat arms to "you fucking racist pig" or words to that effect.

San Francisco has gone mad...

An annual income of $97k for the next 250 years? An upfront $5 million reparation payment? A house for $1?


It's like someone in city hall let their young child just randomly name off what they thought the city's black population was entitled to - no thought given to the math or macroeconomic result of such ridiculousness...

San Francisco has gone mad...

Haight Ashbury 1968. I do believe Charlie Manson got his start here.

Uh, that discussion was over a year ago, and I haven’t seen any actual action on those recommendations.

And there likely won't be. "Good Ideas" are often thought not to be so good when you need to find a way to pay for those "Good Ideas". They turn out to be "Not So Good Ideas"
