A member of San Francisco's committee on reparations for slavery blasted White men as "a danger to society," according to multiple reports, also claiming that "White supremacy is ingrained in [America's] DNA."
Nikcole Cunningham is one of the 15 members of the city's reparations advisory committee established in 2020, with aims to grant each eligible Black resident $5 million to help atone for the sin of slavery.
Along with her rebuke of White men, she alleged White people in general still benefit from the "harm caused by their ancestors."

According to the UK outlet The Telegraph, Cunningham's lambasting continued as she railed against White people for posing more "harm than support and help" for getting reparations approved, adding an inflammatory criticism of their ancestors who she said stood in their "Sunday best" as they watched "Black people hang and burn."
She told the outlet that the goal behind the rhetoric is to make White people "come to grips" with their ancestry and take initiative in facilitating change for equality.

The outlet additionally quoted Cunningham as saying White men are more abusive and make up a majority of "serial killers."
"They have the most, I watch these shows, the most serial killers," she said. "Straight White men are the ones who are shooting up schools, right? So they are a danger to society. Not all of them."
Cunningham did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Reparations have become a hot-button issue for California residents in recent years, with scenes erupting at the most recent – and final – reparations task force meeting hosted by the state's Department of Justice.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom, D., declined to support reparations for Black residents, however, stating that slavery's legacy is "more than cash payments."
Overshadowing the rhetoric are racial tensions inflamed by multiple events, including the 2020 police murder of George Floyd, the subsequent riots that filled the streets and, most recently, a Supreme Court decision overturning the precedent of affirmative action in college admissions practices.
