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.

No its not.
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
The people you're complaining about ARE good, decent, hard working, accountable folks.
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.
NEGATIVE
Nobody good, decent, hard working and accountable needs free shit from taxpayers. EVERYONE I know who is good, decent, hard working and accountable is self sufficient.
Because you say they are good, decent, hard working and accountable doesnāt make it so.
Remember, NOBODY good and decent has children they canāt afford, smokes weed they canāt afford, drinks booze they canāt afford, smokes cigarettes they canāt afford...NOBODY!
Save your cries of RACISM for ignorant fools....we are a nation that holds dark people down, we wonāt allow them to achieve beyond President Of The United States Of America.
I did save my cry of racism for an ignorant fool.
And you just proved both points.
Haha...I get it, you canāt refute what I said.
Look, you werenāt the first and you wonāt be the last Leftist Loon I expose for the fool they are.
Thanks for playing dummy...but this is game for the informed, the sensible, the logical and the rational....you emotional FEELZ based wokeologists lose every time.
Refute what you said?!?!?!?!
You didn't say anything worthy of refutation.
Your entire post was nothing more than a tiny minded "conservative" racist rant.
I called it and you for what you are.
But, because you are a tiny minded "conservative" you actually believe a racist rant wins.
Sorry, you'll need to put the sheets away.
All your racist rant did was prove to anyone reading it that you are nothing more, and probably significantly less, than a tiny minded "conservative."
Racism is giving people money based upon skin color.
Perhaps, but since that is not happening here you, once again, get caught in an irrelevant lie.
Seems, like Trump, you can't help yourself.
Youāre ignorant and/or a liar. Iāll let you tell us which.
CBS:
And it is the first program to limit participation strictly to Black, Indigenous and people of color communities
Only people of color in the California city are eligible to receive the basic income, which they can spend however they see fit.
www.cbsnews.com
Let us look at the information.
"
The "Oakland Resilient Families" program has so far raised $6.75 million from private donors including Blue Meridian Partners, a national philanthropy group. To be eligible, individuals must have at least one child under the age 18 and an income that is at or below 50% of the area median income ā about $59,000 per year for a family of three.
Half the spots are reserved for people who earn less than 138% of the federal poverty level, or about $30,000 per year for a family of three. Participants will be randomly selected from a pool of applicants who meet the eligibility requirements.
Local people of color only
Oakland's project is significant because it is one of the largest efforts in the U.S. so far, targeting up to 600 families. And it is the first program to limit participation strictly to Black, Indigenous and people of color communities.
The reason: White households in Oakland on average make about three times as much annually than black households, according to the Oakland Equity Index. It's also a nod to the legacy of the Black Panther Party, the political movement that was founded in Oakland in the 1960s."
This is not an Oakland government program. Oakland is the manager of a private effort.
The OP stated this was the City of Oakland and his original link did not include the text in red.
If this were a government program using government money the exclusion would be illegal.
But
Since it is a private program this private program should be able to spend its money however it wants.
Seems "conservatives" would be in favor of this effort but since there's them nasty Black, Hispanic, Asian, and Natives involved your anger is understandable is misplaced.
