So-Called ‘Moderate’ San Francisco Mayor Signs Ludicrous Reparations Scheme That Could Award Each Black Resident $5 MILLION
The People’s Republic of San Francisco has decided to enshrine race-based reparations into law with the help of their alleged ‘moderate‘ mayor.
As the Daily Mail reported, San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie gave black residents of his city an early Christmas gift by signing a reparations bill that could grant each one of them a whopping $5 MILLION in reparations. The legislation was signed on December 23.
Per The Daily Mail, here is how this scheme will unfold:
The ordinance establishes a reparations fund, as recommended by the city’s African American Reparations Advisory Committee (AARAC) in its 2023 report.
The legislation establishes the fund but does not allocate any money to it, setting up the framework for any future contributions, whether they be through the city or privately donated.
The AARAC is tasked with developing ‘recommendations for repairing harm in our black communities,’ according to its website. Per the 2023 report, every eligible African-American adult in San Francisco should be handed a $5 million lump sum to ‘compensate the affected population for the decades of harm that they have experienced.’
Approximately 50,000 black people live in San Francisco, and the qualifying requirements remain unclear.
This move also comes despite the city facing a whopping $1 billion budget deficit. But this did not deter Lurie in the slightest.
“For several years, communities across the city have been working with the government to acknowledge the decades of harm done to San Francisco’s black community,” Lurie wrote.
“While that process largely predates my administration, I am signing the legislation to create this fund in recognition of the work of so many San Franciscans and the unanimous support of the Board of Supervisors.”
Roughly a week before Lurie signed off on the plan, the city’s Board of Supervisors voted in favor of it.
The move promptly sparked criticism. Bay Area conservative activist Richie Greenberg slammed the decision to institute race-based reparations as “ludicrously unlawful, irresponsible, illegal, and unconstitutional.”
Independent San Francisco journalist Erica Sandberg was also highly critical.
“After large-scale No Kings protests in the summer of 2025 that condemned authoritarian policies from the Trump administration, local officials making such a unilateral decision that is clearly at odds with public sentiment is hypocritical,” she wrote.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported on the proposal from the San Francisco “Reparations Committee” back in 2023 to pay each longtime black resident $5 million and grant them total debt forgiveness for suffering decades of “systemic repression.”
“While neither San Francisco, nor California, formally adopted the institution of chattel slavery, the tenets of segregation, white supremacy and systematic repression and exclusion of Black people were codified through legal and extralegal actions, social codes, and judicial enforcement,” the proposed draft from the committee said.
The committee also considered supplementing lower-income blacks so they can afford housing.
“Racial disparities across all metrics have led to a significant racial wealth gap in the City of San Francisco,” the draft stated. “By elevating income to match AMI, Black people can better afford housing and achieve a better quality of life.”
Earlier this year, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill to create the Bureau for Descendants of American Slavery, which will create a structure for reparations.
Thankfully, he vetoed five other reparations measures. These included bills that would have allowed colleges to prioritize “descendants of American slavery” and another that would provide reimbursement for so-called victims of “racially motivated” eminent domain.
