IF any form of reparations is done, it should be done in the line of thinking coming from the NAACP chapter there (to a fiscal point tho). But this kind of proposal is absolutely insane to even consider happening, but it is San Fran after all, so it does make sense.

"San Francisco city leadership has already unanimously voted to accept a draft plan for reparations.

Under that plan, Black residents of the city would receive a one-time payment of $5 million, complete and full forgiveness of their personal debt, an annual income of $97,000 and the ability to buy a home within San Francisco city limits for just $1.

Estimates claim the reparations plan will cost San Francisco more than $100 billion.

The plan has been stirring controversy since its inception. Even the San Francisco chapter of the NAACP rejected the proposal, arguing reparations should be made in the form of investments and opportunities, not cash payments.

We strongly believe that creating and funding programs that can improve the lives of those who have been impacted by racism and discrimination is the best path forward toward equality and justice," San Francisco NAACP President Amos Brown said in a statement."

This is the NAACP plan. Much more reasonable and likely to be effective.
