San Francisco is proposing a $5 million payment to each black person in the city as part of a reparations proposal. The proposal has faced criticism from conservatives, who say taxpayers who were never slave owners should not have to pay money to people who were not enslaved. The payment would be made in a lump sum, rather than over a period of time, and would only be available to black people who have lived in San Francisco for a certain time period and descended from someone incarcerated for the police war on drugs. There is no timeline for San Francisco to act on the recommendations.
