Why is the mayor of Oakland paying UBI to low income residents and only to Blacks / Browns persons ?

The mayor issued a  1,000 a month to minorities only and I sense lawsuit .

This is flat out racism and what about people that work and pay taxes to bums 

.

There need to be darwinism and survival of the fittest those who do not try starve or get less in society not reawared is the downfall of society .

I'm for unemployment / welfare but in moderation in a loss of job or hard times but not no trying bums to society .

    Sources provided for this immoral policy, cheered by racist Democrats

    “Oakland Mayor Announces Basic Income Program, But Not For Poor White Families”

    California Globe, 04/01/2021

    “The mayor of Oakland, California, on Tuesday announced a privately funded program that will give low-income families of color in the city $500 per month with no rules on how they can spend it.” CBS News/Associated Press 03/24/2021

    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.”Updated 03/24/2021

    This is so indefensible that even the most deviant leftists don’t believe you.  That says something.

    And it’s right here on Yahoo. Now we know why the comments have been removed.

    “Universal Basic Income in Oakland is the first program only for people of color.”

    This is in the same category as your rant against "HIPPA" (by the way, it's HIPAA).  Do some research.  You are right in that "those who do not try starve ... not reawared."

    Gotta love how democrats and republicans think being racist towards whites is the right thing to do. I'm looking forward to seeing the supreme court say it is perfectly fine even if it is clear violation of the fourteen amendment.

    Notice some the the answerers would call you a liar before they would look up to see if its valid yet they claim you are with QAnon.  I suspect that if it is privately funded, it is not against the law but I could be wrong for sure.
