Reparations activist Robin Rue Simmons says she does not know how cities like San Francisco will come up with the money to pay Black residents $5 million each.

“I don’t know, those are the challenges that we all have as municipalities,” Simmons told CNN when asked about how San Francisco will pay each resident.

A CNN piece focusing on reparations aired Tuesday showcased Robin Rue Simmons work in Evanston, Illinois which voted to award grants up to $25,000 to those who qualified for reparations.

Illinois' approval of recreational marijuana in 2022, funded Evanston's reparations, CNN reported.

According to Fox News:

San Francisco's reparations committee proposed paying each Black resident of the community $5 million, and the board of supervisors is considering the proposal.

The committee's chair, consultant Eric McDonnell, said that the $5 million number came as a result of a "journey" and not a "math formula."

That seems correct, as math formulas actually have answers.
