A crushing budget deficit has forced San Francisco Mayor London Breed to eliminate the budget of the Office of Reparations, which was considering lavish payouts to long-term black residents of the city, though it never practiced or allowed slavery. (snip) Despite these challenges, as Breitbart News reported, San Francisco leaders were considering reparations for long-term black residents, and were floating sums in the range of $5 million, though these were not based on any precise mathematical calculations.
Now, however, Mayor Breed has cut the program.

LOL! Reality bites the lefties in the butt. I love it. So, SO much of this is totally predictable and PREDICTED by the adults in the room, and the petulant, hysterical children....just can't make their BS fantasies into reality.
Running out of OPM, just like the Iron Lady said.

No worries, blacks will just step up the mass shoplifting and car crash invasions at Nordstrom and Walmart.

Blacks never will get reparations because dems HATE blacks. But blacks will keep voting for dems because they believe the lies.

It is time to keep an open mind about reparations.
Maybe, the demographic that makes up 12 percent of the population but commits 55.9 percent of homicides and 60 percent of all violent crime should be paying reparations to the rest of us. It could be considered recompense for the increased security systems, locks, bars, and jail space that is required.

The black population of San Francisco is 5.3% and has been on the decline for years. Reparations was never going to happen since nearly 95% of the population is not black. If the Board of Supervisors were so stupid as to come up with an actual reparations scheme it would be countered very quickly with a voter initiative that would nullify reparations. The same goes for the state. Blacks in California are a very small minority although their influence in state politics is much larger than it should be.

At $5mm per LT resident, that means the 30 people involved will be denied. What a joke!

What do you want to bet the staff of this office will be quietly transferred to other positions, and probably given a raise to keep them quiet. A lot of Kalifornia spending is classified as 'off-budget.' They spend it, they just do not want to talk about it often.

There is not enough money on the entire African continent to pay for the trouble their slave export business has caused the world.

It's a start, but it seems to me that they have a long way to go.

But black folks can still smash and grab at drug stores and convenience stores. They're just going to have to accept that entitlement as reparations...... not to mention carjackings and home invasions and.....

Somebody needs to tell these geniuses that brown is the new black. Once again...to the back of the bus. Blacks abort or shoot their chirrun...browns breed like rabbits.

There was never going to be a serious conversation about paying dark skinned people who were never slaves $5 million a head. If there were Blacks who were counting on this they are seriously naive. San Francisco used their budget issues as a convenient opportunity to shut this down.

That's known as getting tangled up in your own shoelaces. How many black people does that put out of cushy California taxpayer funded jobs? Not to mention the perpetually angry gimmedats that will get even angrier.

So the Lefties had to "eliminate the budget of the Office of Reparations."
What, did they already 'zero out' the budgets for the fire department and police department?
That's the lefties 'go-to' services to cut..... the ones that law-abiding Citizens need the most!
