[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll also add that the millions and house for $1 were items of 160 different [b]proposals[/b].

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.

Right?  OP posted a link to Bill Maher, not exactly the most objective source, who basically cherry-picked those two [b]proposals[/b] and presented them as if they were a done deal.  Honestly, since he lost Donny Smallhands as a punching bag and was proved wrong about "the bikers" staging a coup to keep him in office, Maher has been reduced to a crank.

I think reparations are absolutely a discussion we should have in this country.  Whether or not reparations mean direct cash payouts or something else, or are even a good idea in the first place, should be part of that discussion[/quote]

The 14th amendment precludes any reparations based on race. If you're going to base in on being descended from enslaved peoples, good luck making that workable [/quote]

It doesn't preclude it at all. It would be reviewed under strict scrutiny and [b]San Francisco would have to show they have a compelling government interest to pass slavery reparations [/b]and use special tax assessments to fund it. This could be the way to make equity a compelling government interest and would be a major boon to progressive educational and criminal justice policies.[/quote]

That should be easy since San Francisco was a bastion for slavery.  /s

And, California doesn't need reparations to "make equity a compelling government interest and would be a major boon to progressive educational and criminal justice policies."  They are doing that already and things are not going too well as a result.
