California's Reparations Task Force seeks to lead the nation through a new proposal in San Francisco to eradicate debt by spending up to $5M per black resident.
Fox News national correspondent William La Jeunesse reports there is increasing support among liberal cities to compensate black Americans facing racial disparities on 'Special Report.'
"America must admit its sin," says Rev. Amos Brown, a member of the San Francisco committee proposing to pay each black resident up to $5 million each in reparations."Atone for it and act in terms of providing concrete measures that would pay back for the wrong that was done." Prof. James Taylor from the University of San Francisco."It’s not Georgia, this is not Alabama where Blacks were held in chains. Blacks came here because it was a free state yet when they got here the contradiction is there was still racial prejudice."
BURGESS OWENS SLAMS SAN FRANCISCO'S $5 MILLION REPARATIONS PLAN: 'CONDESCENDING, COUNTERPRODUCTIVE, ILLOGICAL'San Francisco faces a $728 million dollar deficit, yet its reparations committee also proposes forgiving home mortgages, student loans and credit card debt because"black households have costlier or riskier debt".
The city is 45% white. A Pew Research poll in November found nationally 80% of whites oppose reparations,"This is not blacks trying to get something from white in terms of begging and borrowing. This is about these states injury and handicaps placed on people going back decades and centuries," says Taylor."Locally, this is about -- not slavery at all. It's all about discrimination, housing, other forms of discrimination around labor and jobs.
