"Banks, clothing manufacturers and insurance companies will have to disclose any past connections to the slave trade if they want to do business with the city of San Francisco."
No penalties, of course, for historical connections to slavery, but the companies will be ENCOURAGED to contribute to a fund.
I think this is a dangerous precident when we start retroactively punishing and legislating "the sins of our fathers". Can you imagine where this could go? 50 years from now, what will we be paying for that the then-party in power doesn't like?

Like burning heretics at the stake
Dhimmi Watch posts this:
"A 92-year-old retired archaeologist will stand trial in Turkey for claiming that Islamic-style head scarves date back more than 5,000 years - several millennia before the birth of Islam - and were worn by priestesses who initiated young men to sex." She is accused of "inciting religious hatred" and could face 1 1/2 years in prison if found guilty.
Another bad sign in Europe where any opinion is subject to being labeled hate speech.
