California Democrat Eric Garcetti said that George Soros’ Open Society Foundations has expressed interest in funding a Los Angeles reparations program. 

The L.A. mayor made the statement after announcing that the L.A. Reparations Advisory Commission had been formed to develop “a pilot reparations program targeted at a cohort of Black Angelenos.”

“This year has shown us in some of the starkest possible terms that while America is a land of opportunity for some, it remains a place of injustice, inequality, and indignity for too many of our black brothers and sisters,” Garcetti remarked. 

Garcetti also announced the formation of the National Coalition of Mayors Organized for Reparations and Equity, in which 11 big city mayors committed to establishing advisory commissions.

“It remains unequal for the descendants of those who were forced onto slave ships, uprooted from their lives, uprooted from their loves, stripped of their humanity and their dignity and their rights,” he stated the day after President Biden declared Juneteenth a national holiday.     

He hopes that corporations will “begin to make some amends and to push this movement forward,” and said that Soro’s foundation is one of “many” private entities that would be willing to fund the venture as a way “to reckon with a complicity that we saw in American capitalism, slavery and post-slavery racism.”

Garcetti said that the commission will not review racism as a whole, but will “look specifically at reparations around where laws held back” Black L.A. resident’s ability to build wealth. “Exactly who would benefit from a local reparations program and how any financial compensation would be made are details the commission would have to decide,” he commented.

  1. Count me in for reparations if someone can show me a living former person of color that lived under legal slavery in America. Or any living former slave owners

  2. This is just a futile attempt to assuage their “white guilt”. Once they give money to people who have done nothing but be born a certain race, they will apparently feel better about themselves. Once the money is spent, nothing substantial will have changed but the recipients will be back for more. They will have accomplished nothing except create a bunch of economic slaves. You only have to look at the plight of Native Americans to see how this will turn out. I grew up near to a reservation and free money from the government has done nothing to improve their lives. But white people feel better and that is what this is about.

  3. Why is Soros so race obsessed? Or worse, wanting to continue to foment racial division in the US?

  4. I would encourage Soros to donate as much of his money as possible to this cause. He would have less money to fund his other left-wing schemes.

  5. “the devil doesn’t come dressed in a red cape and pointy horns, he comes as everything you ever wished for”….. Soros caring about anybody but himself…..since when….it’s just a ploy to keep turmoil in our country….as previously said….chaos and division…..the man is pure evil…..his goal is to take this country down…..nothing more…..

  6. Now Soros is trying to buy Los Angeles. I hope that this corruption does not reflect Los Angeles by destroying our history and culture. As a native Los Angelino I an only hope that free people see through the socialist communist agenda.

    My family has been in Los Angeles from the 1800s. We settled and fought for our freedom and don’t want or need a socialist telling us how to behave or live. Both Mexicans and Blacks fought Mexico and helped California become a country from 1854 to 1856. We joined the union because of the Bill of Rights that guaranteed individual freedoms and protected the people from a tyrannical government. We know that Soros only wants to enslave us and rule over the people.

  7. SOROS should not be allowed to do any of this. He should be arrestedd and hung. He is guilty of Treason and more.

  8. I am a 78 year old white male who grew up in Newark, NJ in the 1940’s & 50’s and went to school with ghetto blacks. My family migrated here from Italy in 1898. We never owned slaves, I was not priviliged and I am not going to apologize for being white or male. I HAVE NO WHITE GUILT!!!

  9. WHY IS THIS ” GARBAGE ” STILL WALKING AROUND IN OUR CITIES? HE HAS CAUSED ENOUGH ” DEATHS ” IN THE WORLD ALREADY! TIME FOR THE EXTERMINATOR TO SPRAY FOR THESE PARSITES AND RIDS HUMANITY OF THE DISEASE!

  10. is this murderer and racist Soros still in power? Get rid of him and send him to Hungary where he will be indicted for cooperation with the nazis and denouncing the Hungarian Jews to nazi organization arrow cross. According to him (see viede 18.12.1998) the years as a denoucner of the Jews were best times of his life

  11. Spend all your own money but hope you live long enough to see if you made a difference! Seriously doubt it! Smart Blacks (more than smart Whites) see right through this as a political ploy!

  12. My Great Grandfather was killed in the Civil War fighting to free the slaves. My Grandfather and his siblings were placed in an orphanage because his wife couldn’t afford to keep them. My family has paid reparations in blood and pain. I’ll pass.

  13. George Sore-ass is the evilest man alive today. He gets his jollies off by destroying countries and he has destroyed a few. What a pathetic sub-human he is.

    I do rather enjoy the fact that he is obviously not happy. I hope he stays that way.

  14. It’s all about how to inflame hatreds and pit us each against the other, serving the cause of hatred and division, straight from the Marxist playbook. And then the new Global Masters will step in, lower the boom and they will dispose of us how they seee fit.
