Inside San Francisco's plan to give black people $5m | Documentary

- I knew we were in trouble when the back windshield of our car exploded; glass shards flew into the back of my head and my lap; my first thought was that we had been shot. My cameraman and I had been filming homelessness on the streets of San Francisco for a Telegraph documentary when we came under attack.
San Francisco is perhaps America’s most liberal city; it has been at the vanguard of radical, progressive politics for decades. Now the city is at the forefront in the push for “reparations”, cash payments for its black citizens to right the historic wrong of slavery, its proponents pushing for $5 million per person.
With the city facing an unprecedented rise in homelessness, drug overdoses and crime, in a new documentary for The Telegraph, I wanted to find out why local officials were so keen on handing over millions of dollars they can barely afford, in a state that never even had slavery, and whether America’s obsession with race will heal the wounds of time, or push an already divided population to the brink.

That reparations lady is actually insane
That's what a notice she talks nonsense.
Absolutely 🤦🏻♀️
All Democrat are insane.
I'd say she's just really, really, really dumb yet really really confident. Actually nevermind in the span of time it took to type that sentence she said about 5 crazy things. I agree, she's a nut job.
lol, which one?
I think criminals should pay reparations for all the people that they’ve wronged.
they do it's called restitution. the government just keeps the money
@carlforpresidentanthony4574 In theory...that money goes towards government operations that are supposed to benefit the public. Like funding fire departments...or paying corrupt politicians...
With their necks.
There’s no bigger criminal than states

Man, this comment section is weird.
AHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHHAHA. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 your funny......
how do these people expect to treated seriously? they themselves are not serious people. they're only victims holding a losing lottery ticket.
It’s because they know there are unfortunately millions of stupid people in America who will treat them seriously.

The lady with the red hair is delusional. California receiving reparations even though slavery didn’t exist in California is crazy to me. Love Carol Swain
"I knew my son would be LGBTQ when he was two because of his mannerisms..." More like she wanted a woke virtue signaling trophy.
Same black lady also forgot that their own were owners of Black slaves. Same with the Five Civilized Tribes (whose Black slaves were driven to Oklahoma along with their owners). Also, if anything, Irish Catholics should come first, as they were themselves slaves (under the guise as so-called "indentured servants") treated worst than the Black slaves that came later.
Her disability is being 400 pounds
Should I be asking for reparations from the Black people who violently attacked our family and our community members and killed some too. Should I be asking When am I going to get my reparations from the perpetrators? The trouble with people like the red haired lady is she's got major life issues and her involvement in occult practices that do more harm than she knows. But all she sees is racial prejudice. She talks well but misplaces the blame on all the wrong blames. There's just so much garbage in San Francisco and in people's lives. They love money though and think it'll solve everything.
It's all about BS politics.....I wish people would pay attention
I commend Steven for maintaining his dignity by being professional and not laughing at these people and their ideas. If he lost his composure, he surely wouldn't make it out of SF. So for that, BRAVO my lad.

As a upcomming turist, - should I worry and find somewhere else to visit in USA than San Francisco and Los Angeles?
@@gislump7984 Like most big cities, there are good and bad neighborhoods. SF has more bad neighborhoods than ever ( I grew up in the Bay Area).

@@rebeccarosman8396 What are these bad neighborhoods? The only bad areas in SF are the Tenderloin (skid row) and downtown where everything has closed since work from home became the norm.

This social and economic decline is not limited to San Francisco, it's in every American city. To make matters worse, more people are pouring across the Southern border from all over the world. Robbed by smugglers they arrive with nothing and are sleeping on the streets. Authorities in New York estimate that the city has had 90,000 within a year. They line the streets there in cardboard boxes.
Calm down. It’s propaganda.
@@mynewcolourit's true not propaganda at least u poop on the street
It's the non-whites in the cities
I forced myself to watch the entire thing. Insanity and delusional.
The problem is that these people are not educated in world history...their only reference point is limited to American history and even then not in depth at all. Their victim attitude is stellar though...
Reporter - ‘and your comments in relation to the full story of history …?
Response - yeah don’t know that - but give me $$$
On another note, promoting victimisation is a cunning execution of warfare to tear down a complete society.
Their education is limited by the public school system where they are never taught of the millions of white Europeans enslaved by the Barbary pirates or the fate of male black African slaves by the hands of the Arab slavers (castration). Even the popular film Roots was ahistorical as European slave traders (with the exception of the Portuguese for a short period) never raided deep into Africa for slaves. Tropical diseases rendered the life expectancy of a European about 1 year in the interior of Africa.
@@erikkovacs3097 - That's true.

No matter how much reparation they get, unless they study hard and stop taking drugs, they will not succeed in life.
So frustrating that I as an American have to subscribe to a British newspaper for factual, deep-dive coverage of issues that my country’s mainstream media willfully ignores. The images are stark.

If people who support reparations truly meant what they say, then they would be asking for reparations for every group that has been wronged in history - not just black Americans. I think it's very telling that they don't seem very interested in reparations for others.
They only see a big pile of money, that's all.
Reparations for Jews for the holocaust and Reparations for the enslaved Chinese in America.
I founded the African Repatriation Society to give all blacks a one way ticket to Africa! Join my cause to stop race based whining
Asian Americans got reparations so did Indigenous Americans. It's a NO for Africans. They shouldn't wait for the government they will never help Africans they should support African businesses and build their own economy.
And they would start with black people in Africa that made selling slaves their business ! It was actually the British who shut that down ended slavery the Africans would have never.
Hard to even listen to people like that. They just blame everything on everyone else. Sickening.
"More money than they know what to do with." He is right, look at what the pandemic stimulus check did.
Which white men? Pay who? Not everyone is guilty and not everyone is a victim.
Who are the slaves? According to data, there were 816,000 Black immigrants in the United States in 1980. By 2000, that number had risen to 2.4 million. As of 2019, Black immigrants now account for nearly 10% of the nation’s Black population at 4.6 million people with the scale of that immigration continuing to rise
Okay, let’s educate those uneducated Black people that can’t stand the truth and don’t give a damn about the truth: The vast majority of all the black Africans were sold to the white owned slave ships by the black African tribal leaders.
Come on, be sensible and logical and try to explain how a ship of about 30 white men were able to go into Africa and round up hundreds of black Africans amongst hundreds or even thousands of others black Africans around them without being chopped up and slaughtered by the other black African tribesmen.
YOUR BLACK ANCESTORS WERE SOLD/TRADED BY THEIR OWN TRIBAL LEADERS. THEY WERE NOT STOLEN FROM AFRICA BY THE WHITE MAN.
@@PopularesVoxYes, immigrants. Not those descended from slavery. Which means 90% of American blacks wouldn’t get anything anyway
The lady in green saying the Chinese can go back to China but she has no where to go seems like an ignorant statement.

I lived in wonderful San Francisco for 33 years and it was a really good experience for me. My spouse and I retired and moved back to the south to care for our aging parents eight years ago.

@@hyphydanOther Africans did. Slavery is still a thing there today y'know
@@hyphydan they are Europeans. No one ever said 'all' Europeans.
It's crazy that she claims the descendants of immigrants have places to go back to, but the descendants of slaves don't. The very people asking for reparations have also benefited from the enslavements of their ancestors as much as everyone else in the country, but being born into a developed country with resources and a strong economy. Very few people in America would choose to go back to their ancestral homelands, as they would be economically much worse off, and because culturally they have absolutely nothing in common with the people there!
It wasn't the homeless that threw the bottle at the car, it was most likely the Honduran drug dealers that deal on that block; they are super hostile if they think anyone is recording them.
I’ve never owned a slave and none of these people have ever been one.
They are all about free money…however they can get it.
This kind of professional victimhood is sad and pathetic.

Speaking about slavery and reparations IN CALIFORNIA is just a joke. This situation is spreading across California and Newsom is the number one reason for it.
what an informative but still too short documentary. huge props to steven for his fair and intelligent manner, highlighting the issues and showing a point of view sorely needed.
Giving drug addicts loads of money probably won't help matters..
These people have become obsessed with their own race to the point that they believe that wrongs were done exclusively to their race only. Perhaps they should give a listen to one of their own race, Dr. Thomas Sowell, who has actually brought to light that owning slaves was definitely a fact of African culture and that there is hardly a culture, ethnic group, or race of people on Earth that has not either been slave owners or slaves in human history. Even in the quintessential book on slavery in the United States (Roots), the family of the main character, Kunta Kinte, is described as owning slaves; of course, being portrayed in the best possible light as being good slave owners and their slaves being members of the family, which is of course, a load of BS.
Bingo. Blacks had slaves in Africa for centuries before European and Islamic slave traders bought slaves from them. In addition blacks sold their own people yet blacks in the US act like only white people were responsible for slavery when blacks sold slaves to slave traders.
Neo Marxism
Well said!
Roots was the soft version of slavery Mr uninformed person . it was 10 times as bad. 16 trillion owed. get over it. btw the black slave owners were buying back their family members!
Very insightful and though provoking comment. There are many thoughts come to me, as I think about the slavery (and reparations ) issue. For example, in practice, how would San Francisco fairly make reparations. Especially considering the multitudes of mixed race people. For example, former US President Barack Obama. He had a “white” mother born in Kansas and a “Black” father born in British Kenya. Would he be eligible for reparations? Would the funds come from general revenue, meaning all citizens pay according to their contribution to taxes. So, citizens of all ethnicities would contribute to payments to a select minority, descendants of black slaves. Thus, a poor Asian, even one who just immigrated to San Francisco, a wealthy Hispanic, or a full blooded Native American would all contribute. What about slavery today? According to Anti-Slavery International an international non-governmental organization founded in 1839, there are up to 49.6 million people enslaved today around the world. Perhaps the money suggested in reparations would be better spent to prevent further slavery. A very interesting and though provoking subject presented by The Telegraph. The Telegraph, by the way, has been published in London, England since 1855 and described by the BBC as “an ornament to Britain and one of the work’s greatest titles.
My family and I just came back from the US. In previous years, SF would be the first place we would look around and visit, this time all we did was land at SF International airport and drove the hell out to another destination.
The lady with the green sweatshirt controlled her own hatred so well
Can civilized citizens get reparations for the destruction caused by the black urban youth since 2020?
"Destruction" really, where? "Civilized Citizens" (are there any? ;-))
They've been destroying, pillaging, raping and murdering for far longer than that. Taking into account the demographic increase, far more white people have been victimized by blacks in America than the other way around. If whites started asking for reparations, the national debt would double overnight.
San Francisco is Majority Chinese, and they vote Democrat because of immigration and Welfare. Nearly every single Chinese Elderly immigrant is on Welfare/SSI/Sextion 8. They sell donated food from foodbanks downtown on UN Plaza
Dr. Carol Swayne (sp?) NAILED IT, with so many great points, on the topic of reparations for black slavery in the USA!! Very insightful information from her.💯💥 🔨
Incredible video! Steven Edginton has shown what a great reporter he is. Reparations to a group that never were slaves, paid from a group that never owned slaves is a 'non-starter'. Millions of US citizens are descendants from people who didn't even live here in the States in the 1860s, when slavery ended. It's a moot point anyhow - no one will be paying any sort of reparations, any longer. Affirmative action, preference on admissions to colleges and to jobs have already been reparations enough. If people don't like the idea of not receiving more free EVERYTHING, well, too bad - let them deal with it.
Being born or being here in the US is reparation enough! Would they want to go back to Africa?!

Reparations are so evil.
It's basically the sins of your father.
1. African nations enslaved their own people or their neighbours and sold them.
2. THe whole world, from the Ottoman Empire (Turkey of today) to China and native americans enslaved other peoples.
3. Why is it only the West that has to feel historical shame for this?
4. It's the West that ended or tried to enforce the ending of world wide slavery.
5. White people got enslaved too throughout history.
6. The vast majority of 'white people' didn't have slaves, were not involved, nor got rich of it.
This whole victimhood complex is just disgusting. And clearly has a negative impact on the black community.
We hear so much about the Holocaust. Does anybody call them victims? When nations came together to give them land did anybody say thats disgusting? No - they talk about the right to defend themselves and send billions of tax layer dollars. Well Black Americans have a right to defend ourselves from economic deprivation and outright violence from WS attacks. Those who willingly harmed us and continue to harm us have a debt to pay. Simple.
Yeah pretty much, however there are many wealthy people who were born billionaires simply due to the fact their ancestors owned slaves.
Unfortunately, financial reparations and somewhat race more generally have been deliberately politicized as a skin color issue and not as a class issue, which they primarily are.
7. More black US citizens than white US citizens have ancestors who were white US slaveholders. Think about it.
What a shame people who is in charge for our state have allowed this

The justifications for reparations put forward by the supporters are absolutely frigging irrational, foolish and based on views wholly disconnected from reality. San Francisco has become a dystopian nightmare which breaks my heart. I lived there long ago and it was one of my favorite places in the country, but now it has descended into frightening and dangerous hellhole.

Speaking as an American leftist, I fear this unequivocal focus on race is an impediment to getting things done that matter. When I look at a place like San Francisco, the problem I see is endemic poverty and homelessness, both of which transcend race. _Class transcends_ race. I feel the people of San Francisco would have much more power and influence if they focused on their collective identity as part of the working class/working poor, regardless of ethnicity.
I don't know what the solution is. I don't like siding with conservatives, but this pursuit of "reparations" in San Francisco is a waste of valuable time and resources. And my guess is it's likely much more divisive than not within the working class/working poor of San Francisco, and that's not ideal. As leftists we're not supposed _to compromise_ the unity and power of the working class.
Bingo, eat the rich, not eachother.
