He replied that he does believe so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAbsolutely. This is never going to actually happen. It is so unrealistic to think that the average family in San Francisco is going to be able to pay six hundred thousand dollars extra a piece,\u201d he said, referencing a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoover.org\/research\/cost-san-franciscos-reparations-proposal-nearly-600000-household\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hoover Institution<\/a>&nbsp;finding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A report published by the think tank in January found that San Francisco\u2019s plan to pay every black adult $5 million in reparations would cost each local household $600,000 a pop in taxpayer funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Reparations are coming: Social justice warriors present insane package to San Francisco city officials<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/R8TwWhHtSG\">https:\/\/t.co\/R8TwWhHtSG<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Conservative News (@BIZPACReview) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BIZPACReview\/status\/1636015646289932290?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 15, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd you know, when people look at this list of the things that they\u2019re recommending, the most alarming thing for most is the five million dollars going to each black person. But for me as an American, I\u2019m looking at this list, and I see that they\u2019re wanting to sell homes at one dollar to black Americans,\u201d DuRousseau continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs an American and as someone who used to live in the San Francisco Bay Area, it\u2019s disgusting to me that we are more focused on slavery, which ended in 1865, than we\u2019re focused on the veterans who are on the streets of San Francisco homeless and begging for spare change in 2023. That\u2019s where they need to start sending their money,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This prompted Ingraham to note that \u201cwhite liberals\u201d never want to spend their own money. The former BLM activist wholeheartedly agreed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey never do. If I went up to a white liberal and handed my Venmo account, they wouldn\u2019t send me any money. But they\u2019re the first people to demand reparations because it\u2019s just another level of them virtue signaling,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd like you saw in some of those prior clips, people are taking full advantage. They\u2019re selling their books, they\u2019re selling black people their own oppression because it\u2019s profitable to indoctrinate people with victim mentality,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DuRousseau used to be indoctrinated himself, up until he discovered the words of popular black conservative podcast host Candace Owens:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load\" title=\"#686 Xaviaer DuRousseau | Candace Owens Changed My Life\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"about:blank\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5SL1uY89bbY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"#686 Xaviaer DuRousseau | Candace Owens Changed My Life\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5SL1uY89bbY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His remarks on Fox News came hours after the San Francisco Board of Supervisors \u201cvoiced enthusiastic support\u201d for an exorbitant reparations plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The plan would include \u201c[p]ayments of $5 million to every eligible black adult, the elimination of personal debt and tax burdens, guaranteed annual incomes of at least $97,000 for 250 years and homes in San Francisco for just $1 a family,\u201d according to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/san-francisco-black-reparations-5-million-36899f7974c751950a8ce0e444f86189\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Associated Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The board likewise slammed those who\u2019d dare oppose the proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSeveral supervisors said they were surprised to hear pushback from politically liberal San Franciscans apparently unaware that the legacy of slavery and racist policies continues to keep Black Americans on the bottom rungs of health, education and economic prosperity, and overrepresented in prisons and homeless populations,\u201d the AP reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThose of my constituents who lost their minds about this proposal, it\u2019s not something we\u2019re doing or we would do for other people.
