Activists Tell California Reparations Committee: “$5 Million per Person isn’t Enough”

Activists have told the California reparations committee sum of $5 million per person is not enough.

The reparations affair is absurd for a number of reasons, but most specifically because slavery never even existed in San Francisco or even the state of California.

However, the reparations amounts keep going up.

Even at the astronomical of $5 million per person, which is being demmanded from the reparations committee .San Francisco residents would pay approximately $600,000 for each city resident.

FOX News reports:

Activists on Wednesday demanded that the state of California pay millions of dollars to each Black resident in reparations as a way to make amends for slavery and subsequent discrimination, dismissing the idea of payments of $5 million per person as “nothing” and “too little.”

The demands were made at an in-person meeting of the California Reparations Task Force, which was created by state legislation signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2020. The committee was hearing comments from the public as it considers final recommendations to submit to the California Legislature, which will then decide whether to implement the measures and send them to Newsom’s desk to be signed into law.

The task force is considering a proposal to give just under $360,000 per person to approximately 1.8 million Black Californians who had an ancestor enslaved in the U.S., putting the total cost of the program at about $640 billion.

Meanwhile, the city of San Francisco is weighing its own reparations proposals at the local level. Earlier this month, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors expressed “unanimous” support for a draft plan of more than 100 reparations recommendations for the city, including a proposal to dole out $5 million each to qualifying Black residents. The proposal would cost non-Black families in the city at least $600,000, according to Stanford University’s Hoover Institution.

As The Daily Fetched reported earlier this year, Supervisor Shamann Walton Walton, who introduced the resolution in February 2020, defended the potential payments, saying historical discrimination by the city and state has disadvantaged black families.

“In San Francisco, black families were not allowed to be taught, but we still had to pay taxes for the education of white children,” Walton said.

“I would say that black neighborhoods and communities were created here in San Francisco without the benefit of representation,” he added.

Talk show host and former California gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder slammed the proposal, saying, “the extraction of money from people who were never slave owners to people who were never slaves” during an appearance on Fox News.
