San Franciso reparations

[Anonymous]

It's important because slavery is so rampant in California.

I’m pretty liberal and I think the SF plan sounds bonkers. It seems like a very slippery slope. Racism is real, the wealth gap goes way back to slavery and the Jim Crow laws so something needs to be done to help close that gap, but arbitrary rules about who gets a giant check doesn’t seem like a good solution.

The plan is completely unserious. $97,000 per year for 250 years and then buy a house for $1?

What a waste of time.

Ask for the moon and the stars so that your actual request seems reasonable.

It's 35% Asian but also about 45% white. This does seem like a good way to make Asians republican.

Wow, the article says it would cost each non-black citizen $600,000 to fund. Most people can't even afford a 30-year $600,000 mortgage so not sure how SF thinks this will become reality. Can you avoid paying by moving out to the burbs? And do you have to sell your SF house for $1 or does SF buy it from you first?

It's amazing what progressive politicians will discuss while serious issues with solvable problems go unaddressed (public schools).

This, on top of continued affirmative action, is reasonable.

I don’t understand because CA was first stolen from indigenous people, then it was part of Mexico and Latinos lost land and have been discriminated against since then. There used to be segregated schools for Latino students since they were not allowed to go to white schools in many areas. Chinese immigrants were treated horribly as well. Why are the decedents of indigenous, Latino, Chinese, and Japanese going to have to pay reparations?

Asian Americans suffered segregation in CA, as well as property denied to them, not to mention their citizenship or right to work in a licensed field. And actually, the Chinese Exclusion Act was passed at California's urging, because the white workers and farmers felt threatened by Chinese labor.

I gather that the progressives in CA think that because *now* Asian Americans in CA are somewhat successful, they don't need to offer reparations to the community. Instead, progressives wanted to push them down further by supporting affirmative action in college admissions. Thankfully, CA passed Prop 209 that bars affirmative action.

Every which way you look at it, CA has done Asian Americans wrong, then and now. Yet, Asian Americans there continue to thrive. I guess that's why progressives don't think much about this part of CA history.

^ oh I forgot the best part, a large segment of Asian Americans in SF are lower income.

If they want to get more current, then I would say that Japanese Americans should take priority over African Americans.

The Japanese Americans received reparations for their internment. Jfc.

I'll also add that the millions and house for $1 were items of 160 different proposals.

AA leaders in the city were against the passing because of these unreasonable suggestions.

I'm so tired of politicians- from local to natuonal- wasting time. If you want to have a conversation about reparations then have it but dont just submit for clickbait and extreme policies it always undermines the real issue.

What happened to Japanese Americans was atrocious and not enough gets talked about it.

Would you have preferred they not received reparations? Or are Asian Americans not allowed to complain? They only received $20,000 each, and it was only given to people who directly suffered from internment.

Let's do the same for reparations. $20,000 for each person who was a slave. Problem solved.

20k in 1992 after internment 1942-1945. so 50 years later for 3years of internment per 20k, adjusted for. in 2019 it was 400 years since the first slave ship (1619) was brought into the US and then we will go through proclamation we will say, which was 1865 so 250 years of slavery.

250/3= 83.3x20k= 1666000 would be the equivalent for survivors of slavery 50 years past abolition so find all the slaves who were still alive in 1905 and pay to their descendants.

cool?
