Reparations: San Francisco could pay $5 million to each of its Black residents

[tennisluvrredux]

Payments of $5 million to every eligible Black adult, the elimination of personal debt and tax burdens, guaranteed annual incomes of at least $97,000 for 250 years and homes in San Francisco for just $1 a family.

 

 

These are just some of the recommendations made by a city-appointed reparations committee tasked with a thorny question: What would it take to atone for the centuries of U.S. slavery and generations of systemic racism that continue to keep Black Americans on the bottom rungs of health, education and economic prosperity, and overrepresented in prisons and homeless populations?

A first hearing underway before the city’s Board of Supervisors on Tuesday could offer a glimpse of the board’s appetite for advancing a reparations plan that would be unmatched nationwide in specificity and breadth. Critics have slammed it as financially and politically impossible. One conservative analyst estimated that each non-Black family in the city would have to pay at least $600,000.

Supervisor Shamann Walton, who is Black, opened the hearing by stating the board would not say Tuesday “what recommendations we will be supporting or moving forward with.” He also expressed thanks the committee and the board for delving into an issue that has made him and other reparations supporters the target of racist comments and threats.

“It is not a matter of whether or not there is a case for reparations for Black people here in San Francisco. It is a matter of what reparations will and should look like yet,” Walton said, “and still we have to remind everyone why this is so important.
