[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reparations are the critical step, and necessary precedent step, for a just, equitable and peaceful SF.[/quote]

Explain to me exactly how the mechanics of reparations work.  Why should an immigrant who had absolutely nothing to do with the oppressive history or policies have to pay?  And who collects?  What if you're black, but an African immigrant who was never enslaved by Westerners?  Or what if you're West Indian, who was enslaved, but entirely under different colonialism than US history?  Exactly how do you calculate an EQUITABLE solution, of who pays, how much they pay, and who receives, and how much they receive?  And do you really think some kind of simple cash payout will actually solve the social issues?[/quote]

When you decide to come to a country you take the baggage it has.

That’s the difference; African Americans didn’t have agency.

No peace no Justice.  Equity now![/quote]

Wrong.  An immigrant who arrived after slavery ended has ZERO responsibility for it.  Someone born into this society didn't have agency, either.  There's no equity in just randomly thrusting this upon everyone.  What you are demanding is NOT equity.

In other words, you don't have an answer.[/quote]

And you don’t have an answer for peace on your streets, so there’s that, too.[/quote]

Actually the answer is FAFO.  Take up violence, and get arrested.[/quote]

Yeah, so newsflash, you don’t run america any more.   So joke is on you.[/quote]

Exactly. San Francisco belongs to the streets now.

RiP shining city on a hill. [/quote]
