Oakland to Give $500 Checks to Low-Income Families - But Not If They're White


Oakland, California Mayor Libby Schaaf has announced a race-based program to give non-white low-income families $500 monthly checks, reports The Daily Mail.

An estimated 10,000 of Oakland's 435,000 population are white residents who live in poverty, defined by earning less than $12,880, but they won't see a penny.

Schaaf, a real genius when it comes to math and averages, 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. 

The group behind the scheme, Oakland Resilient Families, said the idea for race-based payments began in 2020 when Schaaf pledged to bring a guaranteed income program to Oakland.

From the ORF website:

A guaranteed income is predicated on the understanding that people are the experts in their own lives, and that the solutions to poverty are being created by the communities experiencing it. This unconditional, no-strings-attached income is meant to enhance, rather than replace, the existing social safety net by providing families with the flexibility to decide how best to meet their needs.

The above paragraph is an object lesson in how confused these handout people are when it comes to understanding how entrepreneurship, capital, incentives, and a culture that supports hard work, drive a climbing general standard of living. 

Apparently, there are Silicon Valley corporations involved in funding the effort. But make no mistake, these "experimental" programs are the first step toward universal basic income programs funded by taxpayers and run by the government.

This is simply the latest step in the continuation of the advance in the destruction of a functioning America, with white hate as one of the pillars. 

Politicians will favor these white-hating economically-destructive programs to buy votes (even white politicians). It will be funded by the successful classes, especially the white successful class, with the full force of government might behind it. It may only end when what Ludwig von Mises called the reserve fund is exhausted.

This is a vicious, evil, power grab, nothing more and nothing less.

It is a method by which the poor ( especially the non-white poor) are teased with crumbs, while the system by which the poor can climb out of their poverty is destroyed. In the end, it only truly benefits the power freaks in control and those close to them.

  1. Excellent observations by RW. Politics is not the answer. Stay out of harms way until all the insanity completes its natural course...

    Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
    It's the 1st of the month
    So get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
    So cash your checks and come up
    ...
    Wake up, and I see that my sister was already dressed
    She said: "I'ma run and go get my stamps
    Watch and make sure no one snatches my check"
    Nigga, that's the mailman
    Sort through the mail and put it up into me pocket
    So I be hittin' the 99 to get me a dub for 40 duckets
    But ain't no bucket ride that RTA, hop on the 10 to the Clair
    Ready to get 'em up with-a me thugs
    And to cash that dum, man, I gotta get paid
    Playa, playa, holla, holla, St. Clair got much to offer
    Whether it be weed on 93
    Or off on the Glock-Glock for some dollars
    So, get a bag of dope and a quarter O, oh
    Most all of my niggas got the same
    And we gonna roll it all up to smoke
    Hittin' that reefer hydro, you know the cut so fuck them po-po
    Toss all that yayo then roll with a pound and stay low
    Runnin' through the alley and into the mêlée
    Up on the second the sun down
    Those run from January November December
    I'm lovin' the 1st of the month

  3. Any white that criticizes this will be smeared by the mayor as an antisemite.

  4. How do define a person of color?

    How much color is needed to be colored enough?

    So what are you saying RW? I thought all cultures were equal? You sound like some sort of KKK/Nazi bigot here. Don't you want all those precious turd world people to come here forever and ever and help provide some of this economic support?
