Oakland California is beginning a pilot for giving low income families $500/month with no strings attached for up to 600 families. The goal is to bridge the income disparity gap; however, poor white residents are not permitted to apply for the program. {Details Here}
According to CBS: […] “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.” (read more)
Poverty is the one class distinction that doesn’t have a racial component. Ask anyone who grew up with little money or wealth and you will find those people are the least racist people you could ever meet. Poverty cuts across all cultural and racial lines… of course, as customary for ideological maintenance, the far-leftists have to pretend not to know things.
“It’s also a nod to the legacy of the Black Panther Party”
Ummmm… WHAT?!?
“Guaranteed income has been a goal of the Black Panther platform since its founding,” said Jesús Gerena, CEO of Family Independence Initiative, a partner of Oakland’s program. “Direct investment in the community in response to systemic injustices isn’t new.”
So why doesn’t the Black Panther Party pony up, then? They could do Bake Sales or sumthin’. Or get BLM to pitch in… I hear they got some cash stashed away for a rainy riot.
Any taxpayer in that area has grounds for challenges, as do any who would otherwise be entitled to the handouts.
Absolutely.
The whole thing of including race as a qualification seems to contradict the Civil Rights Act.
$500 per month so they can get booze and lottery tickets by Door Dash. The primary beneficiaries will be the Asian run mini marts that assist with Asian crime statistics.
Well at least the Oakland Comrades can be certain SCOTUS won’t interfere.
SCOTUS doesn’t like to interrupt the politics of the establishment left.
Solution: Pull a Lizzie Warren, claim your great-grandpa Johnny Two Feathers had cheekbones out the wazoo, demand 500 wampum.
Why I left CA in 1998 reason number that I can’t even count anymore.
0bama akbar!
Now I read the article that said these were private funds being distributed by the city…
I would love to know what organizations are fueling this racist bias..
Shame on Oakland..
If it was based on income .. that’s fine.. if it came out the lowest income 600 families were all black that’s fine also.. and not racist.. poor is poor it knows no color..
The Mayor promoting it is grounds for her removal..
MAGA
I got a secret….Oakland is a shit hole.
The hills are affluent, sometimes more than affluent; the flatlands are crapholes.
Jerry Brown added block after block of industrial 5- and 6-story apartments and lofts in the flatlands near the freeway, from what I can tell predominantly non-black.
Legal & illegal immigrants are driving the black community out of Oakland.
Oakland has been that way for decades!
sorry… but everybody knows that.
“…the article said these were private funds being distributed by the city…”
Were these “private” funds collected through local taxes?
Looks this group was responsible for funding this from GP…
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, people must have at least one child under 18 and income at or below 50% of the area median income — about $59,000 per year for a family of three.
It’s still illegal to discriminate based on race.
illegal… LOL!
Private or not it’s illegal to discriminate on the basis of rave, religion, and gender.
Unless you’re a democrat then it’s ok.
Are you still under the impression these people follow the same laws they inflict on us?
They should not use any government resources to distribute the money. Not one address list or penny of tax payer money should be used to divvy out the dough.
De facto segregation. Keep the poor blacks out of SF and San Jose etc. Clever and evil.
I thought racism was bad.
Broad brushes are in vogue, especially because there’s money to be made from marketing it. How likely is that college students as well as book clubs and church groups (with the rationale of having ‘courageous convos’) will pay for this book, and the adjacent workbooks and other material for the privilege of being pre-judged and castigated?

“On Monday (March 22), Anthea Butler, a prominent professor of religious studies at the University of Pennsylvania, debuted her own critique of evangelical politics: “White Evangelical Racism.”
““My book is gonna threaten,” said Butler in a phone interview. “Guess what, I wrote a whole book about how awful you are, ‘cause you need to know it. Is this what you want? This is what you turned out to be.”
Oakland is a traditionally black neighborhood that is being gentrified. They’re trying to preserve its culture while the Bay Area is still unaffordable for most minorities.
Oakland’s pretty much evenly divided between white, black, Asian and Latino. A couple neighborhoods have become a bit more upscale but generally the nice parts, mostly in the hills, have stayed that way, while most of the flats remain not very nice.
My best friend is born and raised there. I know what the demographics are like now, but between when the railroads went in and the Second Great Migration, Oakland became the Harlem of the West. They were kept out of good school districts because of redlining, but you still had a thriving middle class there that cannot compete with the influx of tech money.
In 1960 Oakland was a great place. Beautiful architecture. The Oakland Tribune was a top tier newspaper. People in fact got dressed up to go to Oakland. It was a destination. The population was about the same as today, and the per cent of Black people likewise about the same, 25%.
In 1960 there were 20 murders. These days there are about four times that. People avoid going there.
The cause imo: More drugs, less church.
A big number of black people owned their own homes then, the result of the War years and the War economy of the Bay Area.
Then, drug hit the streets. That was the end of that.
Friends of mine had a small family business in Berkeley. After the Black Panther marches, they moved their families and businesses over the hill to the suburbs.
Remember my mom would put me on the train or was it a tram in San Francisco so I could visit my Grandma in Oakland.
A note was pinned on me as to what street to drop me off at. That was the mid 50s.
Now it probably would not be safe to let a child of that age ride a bus alone in Oakland.
The Black Panthers were very inclusive . They hired a white accountant…then killed her.
How to keep black voters on the democrat plantation … y’all remember now how to vote so you can keep getting this free money.
Are we all lifted from the Trump economy? He promised everyone would get rich, and that was the extent of his social outreach except pardoning Lil Wayne and some drug dealers.
Leo Terrell from that area should find a white family that fits the income level and file civil rights violation and everything else he can throw at them.
Do the math folks.
17.6% of the population for whom poverty status is determined in Oakland, CA (73.4k out of 416k people) live below the poverty line.
17,250 poor blacks minus the 600 getting $500 a month until the 3.6 million is spent (minus administrative fees), means….16,650 other poor blacks get NOTHING.
It’s all theater folks and it discriminates AGAINST other poor blacks by not paying all poor blacks.
Notice she AIN’T talking about Black on Asian crime?
Do y’all live in Oakland ?
F You then….you get what you deserve !
Is this not enough for hefty class action lawsuit? Avery winnable one, even with biased court.
Exactly, and if they uphold the practice…boom precedence set. And, then you use their rules against them.
Once court says it’s ok to do this based on race, don’t put it past them, then games on. Play by their rules. Sorry Dems two can play the law game once you move the goal posts.
And if they don’t let it go both ways- more people will wake up.
I wonder if Oakland realizes the first white person to sue for discrimination will wind up getting far more than $500 per month !!!!
Exactly!
In California? Good luck with that.
siht them bas tards cant even keep a football team happy
If it’s public money, I’d say a plaintiff who isn’t black, indigenous or otherwise of color has an excellent chance of surviving a motion to dismiss, or at worst winning a dismissal on appeal with an opportunity for an appellate bench to issue one hell of an opinion.
Public or private- it’s illegal to discriminate based on race.
Idk why people keep trying to just well if it’s public….
It’s irrelevant- in the U.S. it’s illegal to discriminate based on race. Abd this program outright says they discriminate based on race.
Since when isn’t pink a color?
How many people (white) will be excluded from the 2nd payment from the mass financial rape against this country ?

I remember hearing on the radio just over 1 year ago that some place in California was gonna try universal income… could have been Oakland or maybe Stockton. Either way- this is such a California thing to do
Tiffthis: Your recollection is correct; Stockton handed out $500 monthly stipends to “randomly selected” recipients within the target group. I just looked up an article from March 4, 2021, on the Stockton program. Not surprisingly, the article was at NPR’s website. They love to gush over socialist programs.
It was Stockton. Not sure how that worked out.
“People of color” is a cumbersome circumlocution. We should go back to “Colored people”. It’s easier.
or just reduce it to the actual intent:
“non-whites”
The one that confuses me is “BiPOC”. I think it means bisexuals, perverts and other crackpots.
I watched a program where city politicians were selling prime downtown real estate to developers..
It took several activist to expose the scheme.. and stop the sale..
So yes the politicians wii do anything sell their mothers if they have to..make some extra money on the side..
It’s been a while since I watched it and it was probably during the last 10 years.. I believe the property was lake front on Lake Merrit..
I don’t think that I can handle all this crap that’s going on in our country. First of all poor people don’t pay their salaries, tax payers do. Last time I check blacks and Hispanics collect most of the welfare in this country. Why would they need more free money? Why not encourage people to work to get out of poverty? And the last time I check even rich people get hungry and by their assumption only white people are rich. So poor white people don’t get hungry. I need to pray for my own sanity. I know this people know the evil they’re doing. And they’re bringing the worst out of me. How evil can someone be?
You are thinking poor folk values are the same as yours and the reason they’re poor is they’re not as smart as 80% of the population.
No. I think some people may need more help than others do to upraising. IQ is not determined by money. My point was that the mayor of Oakland is a white woman and with money. She implies the back kids go hungry and have needs, but white kids (by their actions of course they haven’t said it out right) don’t get hungry and suffer the same malediction they any other ethnicity. I’m sick and tired of the pondering. If you think poor people aren’t smart cause their poor that’s on you not me. Never said never thought it.
Money does not determined the depth of your values. If you think a billionaire or millionaire have higher values than a poor person. I can provide a list of very rich people without values.
“I think some people may need more help than others do to upraising”
Not True. Studies have found that twins separated at birth and raised in radically different circumstances have equal attainments in life. It’s all Nature and very little nurture. I wish that it were different; so we could do something about it. We have to stop pretending not to know.
I beg your pardon!? Very elitist of you. Poor people can be poor for many different reasons, IQ has little to do with it. This Biden admin stays in place, you too will be poor. Will that be due to your IQ?
Mixed marriage/ mixed breeding is a phenomenon of the poor across time, across geography and across cultures.
Rich white marry rich white. Prince Harry got driven out of his home country for violating that rule.
My point? Trying to find racially pure black people to gift will prove the omnipresence of miscegenation to the racists who rule Oakland.
Rich Harry is no better than MeGain. He chose to step down and betray his country. I have no sympathy for him.
MeGain has him totally brainwashed. He knows she is lying about issues but still goes along with it an her.
What tiny tech billionaires are funding this program?
Hopefully several ‘white’ people that fall into that poverty level that Oakland has chosen to pay $500/month to with no strings attached find an enterprising lawyer or two and sue the heck out of Oakland for racial discrimination, perhaps some enterprising lawyers could enlist poor white homeless people in their endeavors to sue the city for discrimination. Might be the only help the homeless can get in California since the illegals seem to be ‘at the front of the line’ for benefits.
Sooner or later you run out of other people’s money.
No more charity donations from me to any organization other than dog rescue groups. I don’t want one penny going anywhere where they pick and choose which humans get help. I am livid about the anti-white crap everywhere in this country.
Here is the kicker, I bet they have to show identification to qualify for the program, but they can’t show identification to vote.
Seems to me, that one would need to provide DNA to qualify. And then, there are those pesky percentages.
If I self identify as a poor black person with a crippling depression caused by an albinism that gives me an appearance of being white, can I also get SSI along with my $500per month?
I think I would move if I lived there. Its hard enough to make a living for your own family with out paying for people who do not work.
It sound like race discrimination to me.
So if a few white families are millionaires living in Oakland, there goes that “average” income for white folks. How very convinient of the race hustlers to use that methodology.
If your white and wonder how you might be treated if your race became a minority in this country, you should know the answer to that question by now.
The point isn’t to help black people. It’s to hate white people.
Hate masquerading as help is still Hate.
She could gave left race out, and minorities would still be disproportionately helped.
And they’re aiding illegal immigrants.
Can’t someone sue her for discrimination?
Are we really sure that California is a real American state.
Foster parents reportedly asked by state agency if they can take in ’26+’ migrant children amid border crisis
California foster parents are reportedly being asked how many migrant children they are able to house, including the option of “26+” minors.
“This is an emergency message, please respond to this urgent message from the Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD),” a voicemail obtained by the Daily Mail to foster parents said. “CCLD would like to know how many available beds you have to serve additional youth.”

Words fail me.
I was born in Oakland…seems my parents did the right thing and left. What a bunch of total morons.
Racist policies.
What if the white looking people identify as black? After all Pocahontis ( the politician , cant remember her real name ) identifys as American Indian and that was Ok wasnt it ? I’m in Australia, from here your politics is very confusing.. Like, in Australia, we would never allow a guy, who identifies as a girl, to beat up a real girl in wrestling or MMA.
Typical California logic – “In order to be fair to everyone, we’re going to discriminate against some.”
What happened to our RACE DISCRIMINATION LAWS?
How come REVERSE DISCRIMINATION is now okay?
Where are lawyers, WHITE or MINORITY, legally protesting with suit papers against this?
This is clearly illegal.
How come WHITE Governor Newsom, Nancy Pelosi and Diane Feinstein get to live their “white privilege” to an extreme and flaunt it ? How come WHITE haters give them a pass? I wonder… will the WHITE haters always give them a pass? Why are these racists silent about them?
I have never seen such blatant, universal, hypocritical WHITE hated so openly on display before in our country. When will people do something about this? Where is our military on this? They too swore to defend our Constitution and uphold our laws. Since we have become a third world country, they have no excuse for not doing that and we should join them. What we need is a visible leader to bring us together. Steve Bannon?
Per Harmeed Dillon, violates 2 or 3 laws, of precedent by SCOTUS. DOES that even matter anymore? HOW can it survive be implemented, but this NEW America, seems to have laws ONLY for whites, Conservatives….
Harmeed Dillon admitted lawyers were paid to help Trump but instead they threw him under the bus and caved to the left.
Laws are FOR anyone BUT WHITE PEOPLE! Scary stuff going on. BTW Harmeet is from India using common sense and a decent Republican. She is a former vice chairwoman of the California Republican Party, and a National Committeewoman of the Republican National Committee for California and a loyal Trump supporter. She also understand the danger of Islam.
Harmeet Dhillon: GOP Paid Millions to Lawyers Who Threw Trump Under the BusBy Robert Kreychik
11/13/2020
The Republican Party spent millions of dollars on lawyers in anticipation of election-related legal battles who have abandoned President Donald Trump, said Harmeet Dhillon, the former vice chairwoman of the California Republican Party.

And yet ANOTHER NEW DAY in America?
Are we awake yet?
See where country going?
WE THE TAXPAYERS paying the bill…..
thousands pouring in border, becoming ‘our fellow citizens’ and being richly ‘blessed’ with $1400 checks and ALL THE NEEDED benefits of daily life; housing, food, med, schools AT YOUR and MY EXPENSE.
And mean old Trump was so bad…
Levine, the freak, is now a DC administrative employee, courtesy of 2 GOP members. IF Dems did this to THEIR party; they would be forced out; but GOP is WAY TOO NICE & KIND….
Biden is a shell of a man, old, dithering. Klein, Susan Rice and others? daily destroying America…while Doc Jill keeps ‘a lid’ on Joe…
WHERE is the outrage? Oh, right, there won’t be any, b/c if so, the FBI puts your face on social media and comes with 50 agents to arrest you (no, this isn’t Russia or China I speak of, it’s the USA).
Thus is blatantly discriminatory.
Also:
Give someone food and feed them for a day. Teach them to fish and feed them for a lifetime.
Handouts only help in the moment. When it’s over these families will be right back where they started, if not worse. Thats because democrats don’t actually know how solve the problem.
Remove the drugs, provide opportunities for training, lower the cost of living and create actual good paying jobs. The problem is that politicians can’t seem to accomplish any of these things.
STOP PAYING TAXES!
Any poor whites out there identifying as blacks or Hispanics? Then there’s the I’m here illegally. That should get you a check.
