San Francisco's Board of Supervisors met Tuesday to discuss proposals for race-based payout for injustices committed against past generations by past generations.
Despite having previously stressed that San Francisco — a city where slavery was never legal in a state where slavery was never legal — could not afford to meet the activists' demands, the Democratic supervisors ultimately approved the SF African American Reparations Advisory Committee's initial draft.
The draft, which calls for a $5 million lump-sum payment, total debt forgiveness, and other perks, may satisfy those keen to become millionaires overnight in a city that ranks 2 out of 100 on Neighborhood Scout's crime index, but it managed to draw the ire of the SF NAACP.
