Not complaining about the people, complaining about the racist policy. If it was for all people making less than $50K than there would not be such an uproar. As it stands now it is totally unconstitutional. Much like the reparations for black farmers i the Covid Relief bill.The people you're complaining about ARE good, decent, hard working, accountable folks.No its not.Once again, reverse Pantone color chart if you canāt figure out why this is racist.
Oakland will give low-income families of color $500 per month, no strings attached
Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf announced this week that the city will launch a guaranteed income project to give hundreds of Black and Indigenous families and people of color $500 per month for 18 months.
The projectās payments will be unconditional, and recipients may spend the money however they choose.
The Oakland Resilient Families program is the latest trial of a āguaranteed incomeā system of wealth distribution, where residents are given a set amount of money per month to supplement the existing social safety net.

If you read to the end you would have seen the qualifications are income, not race, driven.
Oakland has a significant population of people of color.
Given the population and the income differences between White and Black/Latin it is fully expected that an income based program in an area with Oakland's demographics would place most of the money in the hands of Black and Hispanic people.
Another "conservative" looking for a reason for his faux anger.
With regard to this āpolicyā, thereās many things to get angry about...good, decent, hard working, accountable folks donāt have to dig too deep to find something extremely disappointing in it....This nation was not built by rewarding the pieces of filthy shit among us for their lack productivity.
Read this Twilight Zone lunacy from the editorial.
āThe program is also open to undocumented and/or unsheltered families. Because recipients will not be required to work for the payments, the money is not considered taxable income.ā
Your problem is that most of them aren't white.
Get over your problem and maybe you can help them get over theirs.
What you say?
Yes. your racism is a problem for both groups.
