You Know Who Deserves Reparations?

The Palestinian people who were legitimately displaced when the British mandate awarded Israel to the ethnically Jewish people. (It really never was the Brits' land to give away...) Funny how contemporary reparations discussions never focus on the most recent injustices.

"Is this a bad time to point out that 'moving to San Francisco in the 1940s' almost certainly means being part of the wave of black arrivals who took cheap houses from the Japanese people..."

"... who had been deported to quickly convert Japantown into the Western Addition and Fillmore? Are those black families going to pass those reparations on to the Japanese families they dispossessed?"

That's the top-rated comment on the NYT article "Can Reparations Bring Black Residents Back to San Francisco? San Francisco has proposed the nation’s most ambitious reparations plan, including $5 million cash payments and housing aid that aims to bring people back."
