Inside San Francisco's plan to give black people $5m | Documentary

  • I knew we were in trouble when the back windshield of our car exploded; glass shards flew into the back of my head and my lap; my first thought was that we had been shot. My cameraman and I had been filming homelessness on the streets of San Francisco for a Telegraph documentary when we came under attack.
    San Francisco is perhaps America’s most liberal city; it has been at the vanguard of radical, progressive politics for decades. Now the city is at the forefront in the push for “reparations”, cash payments for its black citizens to right the historic wrong of slavery, its proponents pushing for $5 million per person.
    With the city facing an unprecedented rise in homelessness, drug overdoses and crime, in a new documentary for The Telegraph, I wanted to find out why local officials were so keen on handing over millions of dollars they can barely afford, in a state that never even had slavery, and whether America’s obsession with race will heal the wounds of time, or push an already divided population to the brink.

Also, if anything, Irish Catholics should come first, as they were themselves slaves (under the guise as so-called "indentured servants") treated worst than the Black slaves that came later.

The trouble with people like the red haired lady is she's got major life issues and her involvement in occult practices that do more harm than she knows. But all she sees is racial prejudice.

      Their education is limited by the public school system where they are never taught of the millions of white Europeans enslaved by the Barbary pirates or the fate of male black African slaves by the hands of the Arab slavers (castration). Even the popular film Roots was ahistorical as European slave traders (with the exception of the Portuguese for a short period) never raided deep into Africa for slaves. Tropical diseases rendered the life expectancy of a European about 1 year in the interior of Africa.

    Incredible video! Steven Edginton has shown what a great reporter he is. Reparations to a group that never were slaves, paid from a group that never owned slaves is a 'non-starter'. Millions of US citizens are descendants from people who didn't even live here in the States in the 1860s, when slavery ended. It's a moot point anyhow - no one will be paying any sort of reparations, any longer. Affirmative action, preference on admissions to colleges and to jobs have already been reparations enough. If people don't like the idea of not receiving more free EVERYTHING, well, too bad - let them deal with it.

    These people have become obsessed with their own race to the point that they believe that wrongs were done exclusively to their race only. Perhaps they should give a listen to one of their own race, Dr. Thomas Sowell, who has actually brought to light that owning slaves was definitely a fact of African culture and that there is hardly a culture, ethnic group, or race of people on Earth that has not either been slave owners or slaves in human history. Even in the quintessential book on slavery in the United States (Roots), the family of the main character, Kunta Kinte, is described as owning slaves; of course, being portrayed in the best possible light as being good slave owners and their slaves being members of the family, which is of course, a load of BS.

      Very insightful and though provoking comment. There are many thoughts come to me, as I think about the slavery (and reparations ) issue. For example, in practice, how would San Francisco fairly make reparations. Especially considering the multitudes of mixed race people. For example, former US President Barack Obama. He had a “white” mother born in Kansas and a “Black” father born in British Kenya. Would he be eligible for reparations? Would the funds come from general revenue, meaning all citizens pay according to their contribution to taxes. So, citizens of all ethnicities would contribute to payments to a select minority, descendants of black slaves. Thus, a poor Asian, even one who just immigrated to San Francisco, a wealthy Hispanic, or a full blooded Native American would all contribute. What about slavery today? According to Anti-Slavery International an international non-governmental organization founded in 1839, there are up to 49.6 million people enslaved today around the world. Perhaps the money suggested in reparations would be better spent to prevent further slavery. A very interesting and though provoking subject presented by The Telegraph. The Telegraph, by the way, has been published in London, England since 1855 and described by the BBC as “an ornament to Britain and one of the work’s greatest titles.

    It's insane. What I find even more insane is that pretty much everyone save Dr Swaine seemed to agree with reparations, the only disagreed on how much and how it should be provided. And omg Nikcole Cunningham, wow. That is one of the 15 people on the committee that will decide how to determine who gets the money.

      the only one that should get anything is orphans and widows just enough to live not thousands of dollars and certainly not a million that crazy talk . why would someone give an unemployed leach free money.

    Germany was in rubbles in 1945, they worked and recovered. VietNam was torn apart after 3 wars against France, USA and China, they worked and recovered. Etc...
    Why is it that some people are eternal victims forever instead of working like everybody else?

    I lived in Berkeley for years, but the cost of living drove me out eventually. I still love the Bay Area, but I would not go back now, even to visit. It makes me too sad.

    When the self righteous declare the inventory of the privilege of groups they are not part of, they behave quite like those who held slaves.
