   > Bring me a slave and I'll give you their head.   
      
   Amember of San Francisco’s reparations committee, which has proposed   
   paying the city’s black inhabitants millions of dollars in compensation   
   for slavery, has described straight white men as a “danger to society” and   
   claimed “white supremacy is ingrained in the DNA” of America.   
      
   Nikcole Cunningham, who serves on the 15-strong African American   
   reparations advisory committee, told The Telegraph that white people   
   should be held responsible for the actions of slave owners as they are   
   “still benefiting from the harms that… [their] ancestor[s] caused”.   
      
   The committee was set up in 2020 to advise local officials on how to   
   address discrimination in the city, and is proposing to give every   
   eligible black resident $5 million (£3.9 million) in reparations for   
   slavery.   
      
   Ms Cunningham’s remarks, in a rare public interview, are likely to inflame   
   tensions between advocates and sceptics of the reparations policy.   
      
   The comments come at a time of heightened racial tensions in America after   
   the Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that universities cannot discriminate   
   in their selection of students based on their skin colour.   
      
   As well as San Francisco’s reparations committee, a California-wide task   
   force was set up by the governor for similar purposes. Both committees   
   were set a deadline to file their final proposals for legislators to   
   consider by the end of June 2023.   
      
   On Thursday the California reparations task force handed over their report   
   to lawmakers.   
      
   Ms Cunningham was appointed to the San Francisco reparations committee   
   because she is suing the city of San Francisco, her former employer, for   
   discrimination over accusations they targeted her because she is disabled.   
      
   According to the committee’s draft report, eligibility requirements for   
   the lump sum payments for black residents include being over 18,   
   identifying as black for at least 10 years and meeting at least two of   
   eight tests, which include being descended from slaves or having been   
   “incarcerated by the failed War on Drugs”.   
      
   ‘They have the most serial killers’   
   In an interview with this newspaper, Ms Cunningham said “even though”   
   straight white men were “privileged, he [sic] has a lot of s--- wrong, and   
   I say that because even straight white men are abusive, straight white men   
   are serial killers”.   
      
   She said: “They have the most, I watch these shows, the most serial   
   killers. Straight white men are the ones who are shooting up schools,   
   right?   
      
   “So they are a danger to society. Not all of them.”   
      
   Ms Cunningham criticised white men for not backing reparations, saying:   
   “They’re not doing that.   
      
   “So if anything, they pose more of a harm than support and help. And then   
   you got to remember their ancestors.. are the ones who were standing out   
   here in their Sunday best watching black people hang and burn.   
      
   “So until white people come to grips with their ancestry too and make   
   amends with them, to say, I want to be the change.”   
      
   Ms Cunningham also claimed “white supremacy is ingrained in the DNA in   
   this country and definitely in this city”.   
      
   Her comments on racism in America are in line with statements from other   
   members of the committee, several of whom have made almost identical   
   remarks.   
      
   The reparations committee’s draft report refers to other groups who have   
   received similar payments, citing Japanese Americans who were interned   
   during the Second World War and Holocaust victims.   
      
   The committee argues despite slavery never having existed in San Francisco   
   or California, the city and state perpetuated racist policies that   
   continue to harm black people today.   
      
   Scott Wiener, California State Senator, told The Telegraph he supports   
   reparations “to make good on the harm that was done”.   
      
   When asked if the state can afford the payments, he said: “There’s always   
   a way to afford [it]… But we do have a pretty disastrous budget right now   
   but that will shift over time.”   
      
   According to one estimate from conservative think-tank the Hoover   
   Institution, the San Francisco reparations proposals would amount to
