San Francisco's Reparations Committee Proposes $5M Award to all Blacks in City

[kmgilroy89]

I have a nagging feeling overtly "progressive" dumb policy proposals are planted/fueled/over reported at times by the establishment to ignite the culture war issues at the expense of policy. Think Fox news nothingburgers but kindled from a "left" perspective.

They seem to be heavily planted in San Francisco. Remember the $1.7M toilet:

if you can be performative and grift on the right, you can be performative and grift on the left just as well. I wouldn't be surprised if there's big PAC money to push culture wars from either side as Rufo has shown us.

To be fair, I do think there's false equivalence to a large degree. If cons are pushing anti gay and anti abortion policy from blown up stories that may have genuinely or disingenuously started on the left, then that war is worth fighting. The result sadly ends up being just the same, time/resources lost that could've been used debating policy.

Id support a nationwide reparations program if the money came from the slave holding states only.Those states would never do it but the federal government could come up with a way to withhold a % of federal dollars to those states for a period of time.States that didn't benefit from slavery should not have to pay reparations.

You want to give somebody money, for something that never happened to them, from somebody who never did anything?

My post made that clear.

Dont forget to get reparations from these folks

The Native Americans Who Owned Slave

The Native slaveowners could also be horrifyingly brutal towards their black slaves. This is illustrated by the case of Lucy, a black slave burned alive for the murder of her native master. She had no part in the murder but was executed anyway at the request of the murdered warrior’s wife.

What % of slaveowners were Native Americans?

The % level matters when you are trying to deflect blame from your hero southern conservative racist confederates

You are deflecting from my question.....To you, why does the amount of slaves a group has change whether they should provide reparations

If 1% of slaveowners were Native Americans than it wouldn't be worth pursuing,especially when they were terrorized and brutalized by racist whites as well.Conservative whites from the southern confederate states were most responsible for slavery and they should pay the reparations.
