A Former Black Lives Matter activist condemned ambitious San Francisco reparations plans “gaslighting” People of color

Xaviaer DuRousseau now works for PragerU and has criticized this plan. He claimed that it was trying make black Americans more dependent on PragerU. “handouts.” DuRousseau stated that the plan, which would have given all black residents an initial cash sum of $5million, eliminated all tax and personal debt, and allowed residents to sell their homes for $1, was not possible.

“This is 111 ways to gaslight black Americans into thinking that we need to be dependent on a system of handouts in order to be successful,” DuRousseau spoke to Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Wednesday.

“It is so unrealistic to think that the average family in San Francisco is going to be able to pay $600,000 extra apiece,” DuRousseau referred to an estimate made by Stanford University’s Hoover Institution which determined that every resident other than black would have to contribute that amount to make the reparations possible.

DuRousseau then cited the city’s deficit in its budget as proof that the plan is working. “never actually going to happen.” A city with a budget only $14 billion, this plan would run to $50 billion.

The plan was then dismissed by the ex-activist as distracting them from other urgent issues such as San Francisco’s homelessness.

“It’s disgusting to me that we are more focused on slavery, which ended in 1865, than we’re focused on veterans who are on the streets of San Francisco, homeless and begging for spare change in 2023,” He said. “That’s where they need to start sending their money.”

The proposal was first made by San Francisco’s African American Reparations Advisory Committee in December.

According to the report, the sum of $5 million per person is “would compensate the affected population for the decades of harms that they have experienced, and will redress the economic and opportunity losses that Black San Franciscans have endured, collectively, as the result of both intentional decisions and unintended harms perpetuated by City policy.”
