San Francisco's Board of Supervisors is taking a reparations proposal that was introduced this past week under consideration, which calls on all eligible adult Black individuals to be paid $5 million ... among other benefits.
On Tuesday, those folks shared their suggestions on how to make things right with the African-American community ... and they landed on $5 million per eligible Black resident. There's certain criteria they have in mind ... including being at least 18 years old and having identified as Black/African-American in public documents for at least 10 years, amongThere's more that folks could receive under the draft reparations plan.
In terms of paying for all of this ... the reparations committee didn't have any answers, instead putting that burden on the supervisors themselves. The BOS, in turn, actually supported the proposal unanimously -- and said they could figure out funding later. The Board's only Black supervisor, Shamann Walton, has been leading the charge on this ... and says he wants the reparations package to be included in future City budgets.-- which is made up Black leaders/community members in and around SF. One opponent is actually the NAACP -- which, while supporting the idea of reparations, is not on board with the $5M cash payouts ... instead calling for the focus of investment to be in institutions, like schools/housing, etc.
The NAACP does NOT represent the views and values of the 40 million Foundational Black Americans who are qualified for cash payment reparations
