The Five’: San Francisco chaos spirals out of control
TIME TO PUT WOKE FASCISM ASIDE AND DEAL WITH THE REALITIES OF BLACK AMERICA, THE MOST RACIST AND VIOLENT SUBCULTURE IN AMERICA.
BLACKS MAKE UP ONLY 8% OF THE POPULATION OF S.F. BUT PERPETRATE 40% OF THE CRIMES. THESE ARE PRE-COVID STATES BEFORE THE BLACK COMMUNITY STARTED THE STORE LOOTING AND CARJACKING EPIDEMIC WHICH STILL PLAGUES THE CITY OF S.F.
San Francisco's Black Community Turns on NAACP President Who Criticized Reparations Plan
Rev. Amos Brown says the city's plan to pay $5 million in reparations per black resident is unrealistic
San Francisco’s black community is turning on the president of the city’s NAACP chapter after he urged the city to pump the brakes on a plan to pay $5 million in reparations to each of its black residents.
Rev. Amos Brown caused an uproar last month when, ahead of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors’ first hearing on the city’s reparations plan, he publicly urged the panel to reconsider doling out large lump-sums of cash. Brown, an activist who serves on both San Francisco and Californa’s reparations councils, urged the city to pay reparations through investments in education, housing, and health care.
The black community isn’t having it, with activists calling Brown a con artist and calling for him to be stripped of his leadership role. Bishop Talbert Swan, another member of San Francisco’s NAACP chapter, called Brown’s statement "reprehensible" and a "betrayal to Black Americans."
"As a life member of the NAACP and the longest serving president in the history of my branch, I am ashamed of the position taken by the San Francisco Branch," he tweeted.
The backlash to Brown’s statement comes as San Francisco scrambles to deliver on its eagerly-anticipated reparations plan. The task force’s most recent proposal would cost each San Francisco household around $600,000, and would worsen the city’s already strained budget. Late last week, the San Francisco Controller’s Office estimated the city would face a budget shortfall of nearly $780 million—$50 million more than the office projected in January.
Brown has attempted to clarify his statement, noting that some city lawmakers had already said they would not approve $5 million in cash payments. Brown also reminded critics that the $5 million figure was completely arbitrary and insisted that the city needs a more "practical" number for cash reparations. Brown is also making the rounds in the media to stress that San Francisco shouldn’t raise expectations for a reparations plan it doesn’t think it can execute.
So far, Brown’s damage control efforts have failed. He drew harsh condemnation during the public comment period of last week’s reparations task force meeting, which he attended virtually from Ghana, where he was traveling with Vice President Kamala Harris.
"And to Dr. Brown, shame on you, absolutely, shame on you," said one woman who accused him of attempting to "blame everyone else for what you put forward, which was sabotaging this process against the descendants of slavery, black Americans in this country."
The woman proceeded to claim that he wanted funding for his own programs "that keep our people enslaved" and criticized his trip to Ghana with Harris, "whose administration has done nothing for black folks."
Meanwhile, even the chair of the San Francisco panel is downplaying its draft recommendations, which include not only $5 million per person but also 250 years of $97,000 annual subsidies for poor residents, universal debt clearance, free therapy, and more.
Chair Eric McDonnell described the plan to San Francisco’s KRON4 as an "appraisal" and said it’s up to the city to determine what is feasible and to write a financial plan.
Like San Francisco, California at large is facing a budget crisis as its reparations panel weighs proposed cash payouts that could top $800 billion, nearly triple the state’s annual budget. San Francisco and the state of California launched their reparations push in 2020 after the death of George Floyd, promising their reparations efforts would serve as a model for the nation.

Cash App Creator and Tech Executive Bob Lee Fatally Stabbed in San Francisco
Tributes have begun to pour in for Cash App founder Bob Lee after it was reported that he was stabbed to death in San Francisco, California. Police found him on Tuesday morning suffering from numerous stab wounds and transported him to a hospital where he died. No arrests have been made.
The New York Post reports that the developer of the mobile payment system Cash App, Bob Lee, was fatally stabbed on Tuesday morning in San Francisco. According to local police reports, the 43-year-old was attacked in the downtown neighborhood of Rincon Hill.
Officers arrived on the scene and discovered Lee suffering from numerous stab wounds. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he eventually passed away from his injuries. San Francisco police have not yet disclosed any suspect information or made any arrests.
According to his friend and mixed martial arts champion Jake Shields, Lee was attacked while walking. “He was in the ‘good’ part of the city and appeared to have been targeted in a random mugging/attack,” Shields shared on Twitter.
In his impressive career, Bob Lee has held positions such as Square’s chief technology officer and, most recently, MobileCoin’s chief product officer since November 2021. On Tuesday night, his coworkers started offering sincere condolences, with MobileCoin CEO Joshua Goldbard calling Lee “a force of nature.”
“Bob was a force of nature. Helped to birth Android and Cash App into our world,” Goldbard told ABC7. “Moby was his dream: a privacy-protecting wallet for the 21st Century. I will miss him every day.”
Lee made a lot of contributions to the tech sector. According to his profile on MobileCoin’s official website, Lee previously worked at Google, where he served as team leader for the Android core library and contributed to the introduction of the most popular operating system in the world. After that, he invested in a number of businesses, including Figma, Clubhouse, Beeper, and Faire, and founded the social network Present.
