A program to give $500 monthly checks to low-income families of color in Oakland, California, has been criticized for explicitly excluding the 10,000 white residents living in poverty in the city.
The lottery system, funded by private philanthropists, will see the no-strings-attached checks go to households with an annual income of less than $59,000 if they have at least one child. The other half of the $500 checks will go to those earning under $30,000.
According to data from an Oakland Equity Indicators Report, cited by officials to justify favoring people of color, white households earn about three times that of African-American ones.
The same report states around 8 per cent of the city’s white residents, approximately 10,000 people, live in poverty.
Schaaf told the Associated Press the reason for limiting eligibility to black, indigenous and other people of color was that white households in Oakland make on average about three times as much as black households.

Mayor Schaaf said: ‘We have designed this demonstration project to add to the body of evidence, and to begin this relentless campaign to adopt a guaranteed income federally.’
The announcement sparked an angry debate online, as hundreds of commentators on Reddit were critical of the move.
One commenter labeled it ‘pure racism’.
‘Is this even legal? Can a city government legally have a program that’s only for certain races?’
Another explained the program failed to understand the changing demographics of the city.
‘The high income earners in Oakland are mostly young transplants that did not grow up in Oakland. They should have done research on upward social mobility in Oakland and restricted based upon that. But I guess that’s too much work.’
Another wrote: ‘Poor is poor. Being poor and white sucks, you may not get locked up for trivial shit like our dark skinned brothers and sisters but it’s no secret that White Privilege always has and always will require a certain shade of green to your name.’
Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf is Jewish, does it have anything to do with her racist policy against Whites?
A woman again, resentful towards her own Race. Before all the contraceptive drugs, women were kept right out of politics because they go insane once a month, but when it comes to Race most of them are still suicidal.
The stealing of the presidential U.S. election is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of the subversion of democracy. Throughout the “free world” gerrymandering, election fraud, preferred media candidates, and preferred corporate/banker candidates have been like a cancer for decades at least. But the “election” of Biden was beginning of more blatant anti white policy; their reasoning now being that since nothing has been done about the vote steal, “we can now do what the hell we like”.
I can actually remember when folks of all colors didn’t want handouts,,, just wanted a decent job. Well, they sent the jobs overseas and to Mexico. Now we have the new stimmy check America,,, want loans cancelled,,, free this and free that. Everyone crying for their ‘fair’ share.
I’ve been sayin this for a while now–whites have got to get out of the big cities; small towns and rural areas will always accept whites, even those with black or Hispanic majorities. Now with Covid and Zoom you don’t need to live in a big city to have a job. Let the big cities rot under SJW rule and gangster thugs who hate whites.
