Sorry for what? On Wednesday, February 28th., Just The News published this headline, “San Francisco apologizes to black residents for discrimination,’ as calls continue for reparations.”
San Francisco is apologizing to its black residents for “discrimination” and “targeted acts of violence,” among other things, but residents are still calling for reparations.
“On behalf of the City and County of San Francisco, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors offers its deepest apologies to all African Americans and their descendants who came to San Francisco and were victims of systemic and structural discrimination, institutionalize[d] racism, targeted acts of violence, and atrocities,” the city’s Board of Supervisors said in a resolution that passed unanimously Tuesday.
The San Francisco board had given unanimous support in March 2023 for reparations that would give eligible black residents $5 million each and guaranteed yearly income of at least $97,000 for the next quarter of a millennium.
“We have much more work to do but this apology most certainly is an important step,” Supervisor Shamann Walton, the only black board member, said.
The apology was the first recommendation of more than 100 made by the city’s African American Reparations Advisory Committee, which also had proposed the $5 million reparation payments.
“If not for White people giving them a chance, Africans would still be in the jungles of Africa”, said Thomas Robb. the National Director of the Knights Party of the Ku Klux Klan, centrally based in Harrison, Arkansas. “Lets get this straight, Africans are not Americans, and we owe them absolutely nothing. White people, as God’s chosen people, the Israelites spoken of in the Bible, have given the fruits of our bounty given to us by God, to every non-white race around the globe. We didn’t have to share, but we did. Have you ever seen the blacks with their gold teeth, gold chains, and designer clothes? Top of the line phones, computers, and TV’s? How about all the black TV stars, basketball and football players that are making millions of dollars to play a game? Guess what? They can thank White people for that opportunity. Do you see blacks in Africa living such luxurious lifestyles? If anyone in America is owed anything, it’s White people.”
