Fox News contributor Leo Terrell criticized San Francisco on Wednesday over proposals to give black Americans reparations.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors moved Tuesday night to accept a draft reparations proposal that would allow black Americans who meet two of multiple requirements such as having been incarcerated in the “failed War on Drugs” or having descended from an enslaved person to qualify for a $5 million payout.
Terrell took aim at the draft.
“San Francisco has never had slavery ever, California never had slavery. Why is skin color evidence of reparation? Why should my skin color or ethnicity be proof of damages? You heard no legal analysis as to whether or not this is constitutional, whether or not it is legal. I will submit to you, Dana, $5 million? Why $5 million? Where is proof of damages?” Terrell said. “They claim reparations are a way to justify harm that occurred 170 years ago. Where is the nexus to prove people today are hurt from events that occurred 170 years ago? They keep making conclusions without supporting fact and using the term I cannot stand, ‘systemic racism,’ they say it exists. Where is it?”
“It’s just a matter of political theater and no evidence to support it. I obviously oppose reparations.”
