The Democrat Corruption Thread

Oh....the limitations will run out. Walz will celebrate displaying jazz hands on tv.
 

The mayor of San Francisco signed an ordinance that creates a "Reparations Fund" that could one day grant each of the city's eligible Black residents up to $5 million in reparations for alleged historic discrimination and displacement.

The ordinance, which was passed by the Board of Supervisors earlier this month, was signed by Democrat Mayor Daniel Lurie two days before Christmas. It establishes the legal framework for the fund but does not allocate funds or guarantee payments. The fund can be financed with private donations, foundations and other non-city sources.

Any taxpayer-funded reparations payouts would require separate legislation, an identified funding source and mayoral approval. Lurie told Fox News Digital that no taxpayer money would be paid into the potential pot, given the city's $1 billion budget deficit.

"I was elected to drive San Francisco’s recovery, and that’s what I’m focused on every day," Lurie said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "We are not allocating money to this fund — with a historic $1 billion budget deficit, we are going to spend our money on making the city safer and cleaner."

"The Reparations Plan outlines a variety of methods to provide restitution, compensation and rehabilitation to individuals who are Black and/or descendants of a chattel enslaved person and have experienced a proven harm in San Francisco," the ordinance reads, in part.

The ordinance specifically cites a 2023 policy report and recommendation document produced by the San Francisco African American Reparations Advisory Committee (AARAC), a city-appointed advisory committee.

The report, which is nonbinding, studied harms to Black residents and proposed remedies, including a recommendation of a $5 million payment. Around 46,000 Black residents live in San Francisco, according to U.S. Census data.

It argued that Black San Franciscans are victims of decades of city-driven "residential displacement" and "racial discrimination," particularly during the urban renewal era — the period from the mid-1940s through the 1970s.

"The City and County of San Francisco and its agencies should issue a formal apology for past harms and commit to making substantial ongoing, systemic and programmatic investments in Black communities to address historical harms," the report states in its executive summary.

It proposed that the city "[p]rovide a one-time, lump sum payment of $5 million to each eligible person."

The report also recommended a guaranteed annual income tied to area median income and the creation of new city agencies, including an Office of Reparations, to administer programs. It also called for major housing interventions, such as rental assistance, homeownership support and city-backed funds to purchase property along Black business corridors, as well as multi-million-dollar investments in Black-owned businesses.

The California Legislature has attempted to pass specific reparations bills but has so far failed to do so. Several proposals stalled or were rejected after the state’s Reparations Task Force, which was set up in 2020 to study and recommend reparations proposals.

The Chinese population in the San Francisco area deserve a bigger stake if we're going to virtue signal. They were the backbone of the Central Pacific in getting the rail lines to Promontory Point in 1869.

And you have to blame the media for pushing a particular agenda.
When asked to defend a certain opinion all I hear are catch phrases, saving democracy, Trump is a fascist, etc.
The hate that has been instilled for one individual controls the thought process for many in our country.
I'm not being facetious, I truly believe this.
Pick any subject and engage with someone on the left, the conversation will quickly degrade into labeling and name calling.

Let's take the current outrage displayed against ICE, no one questioned it when President Obama deported millions, he had full cooperation from all state, city and local officials. Now, we have legal US citizens with a family history in this country for over 100 years claiming ICE is coming for them. It really is mind boggling to me, and yet, the media keeps pushing the narrative and far too many take it as gospel.
 
Cryin’ Chuck said that if they win the midterms they will overturn all the Doge cuts. Can you imagine hating American taxpayers so much that you tell them you are going to keep stealing from them? Anyone who votes demotard hates America.
