Permanent Forum on People of African Descent. Hansford called for a &#8220;process of apology and reparation \u2014 not on their terms but on our terms,&#8221; according to the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n<h3>Proposing Our Own Vision of Justice<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;I come to you today with a novel proposal, that we begin to think our own thoughts, propose our own vision of justice, and implement that justice,&#8221; Hansford said during U.N. racial justice talks in New York City.<\/p>\n<p>Hansford, a descendant of slaves in Georgia, argued that these reparation payouts to black U.S. residents should be assessed on a case-by-case basis. He also stated that for families who have gone through generations of &#8220;horrific&#8221; oppression, the $5 million amount would be &#8220;on the low end of what&#8217;s appropriate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hansford&#8217;s comments come after President Joe Biden spoke at Howard University last month, describing white supremacy as &#8220;the most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-says-white-supremacy-most-dangerous-threat-to-u-s-in-commencement-speech-at-historically-black-college\/\" title=\"Biden: 'White Supremacy' Biggest Threat to U.S. in Speech at Black College Graduation\">dangerous terrorist threat<\/a> to our homeland.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>San Francisco&#8217;s Reparations Plan<\/h3>\n<p>The city of San Francisco is working on its own plan for reparations for black residents in the city.

However, San Francisco Mayor London Breed, a Democrat, stated in April that she has no plans to support the plan.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know the committee is still working over the next couple of months to complete and issue the final report, and I look forward to reviewing those recommendations once they are finalized and make it clear in regards to my support at that time,&#8221; Breed said.<\/p>\n<p>Reparations for black U.S. residents have been a topic of debate for years, and this recent call to action by black academics at the United Nations adds to the ongoing conversation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Howard University professor and a group of black academics are urging the United Nations to pressure the United States to provide $5 million payouts to black U.S. residents.
