Blames ‘white scholars’ for inhibiting progress on this issue
The United Nations should set up a reparations tribunal and order the United States to pay out up to $5 million in reparations to black citizens, a Howard University professor said recently.
Professor Justin Hansford, a law professor and proponent of critical race theory, made the comments at the UN Permanent Forum on People of African Descent, according to the Daily Mail. Hansford is a member of the forum, first created in 2021 and he spoke to the news outlet at the UN.
The Daily Mail reported:
Justin Hansford, a professor at Howard University School of Law, led the charge for $5 million payouts to black Americans at the UN this week, flanked by colleagues from the University of Pittsburgh and Columbia University.
The long-shot effort underscores how reparation payouts are unpopular among white American taxpayers and have little chance of becoming federal law, leaving advocates scrambling for a workaround.
Hansford (pictured) said “white” policymakers and proponents had not gotten the job done.
He said:
But so far we have left it to the scholars of the past, the lawyers of the past, the white scholars, white lawyers, to determine the bounds of our legal imagination, to determine the narrow structures that we will use to determine what justice looks like for our own people.
So 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, as part of the Permanent Forum on People of African Descent.
Hansford said he used his law students to research reparations, but he mistakenly claimed that “Evanston, Ohio” created a program. Evanston is in Illinois.
He also called for “African spirituality” to be a part of discussions about reparations.
The College Fix has previously reported on California’s reparations panel, which includes several CRT proponents, who have proposed at least $569 billion in payments. The task force has until July 1 to deliver a final price tag.
the article said..”order the United States”
hmmmmm .... be interesting to see how that works out ...
“The United Nations should set up a reparations tribunal and order the United States to pay out up to $5 million in reparations to black citizens”
Yeah like that is ever going to happen. $5 million to each AA would be many times our GDP. Haven’t any of these clowns demanding reparations ever taken a class in basic math?
This is what happens when Harvard lets just anyone in.
“Howard Scholar” LOL. Mutually exclusive.
The only purpose is to make black people think they’re getting a couple million each, and then blame Trump when they end up not getting it.
These globalists want a civil war so bad they can’t think straight.
Effing laughable. And this man is a law professor? His position does shed some light on how Kamala Harris managed to graduate Howard. If he is typical of the faculty at least...
Scholar 😂 😂 😂 😂 🤪

These ‘clowns’ maintain that the US Government can just print the money, as much as it takes.
Not only do they not know basic math but the whole idea of legal Authority is questionable.
How can United Nations order the United States to do anything? What controlling legal Authority does the United Nations have over member countries?
I have an idea, let’s round up ALL BLACKS and ship them to Wakanda. Simple, solves all race problems by removing the people who are the problem.
As posted, it is “Howard University”. They let everyone in.
Why no have the UN play for it? Why are only blacks in USA getting money? What about slaves that still exist in the Islamic World? Jamaica’s whole population is mostly decedents from slaves. The same is true of Haiti. How about just calling the whole thing off—one can’t stop racism with more racism. Today the worst racist are black and it is so ingrained, they do not even see it as racism. Not to worry, soon the economy will flatten and the dollar will be as valueless as the Mexican Peso. Five Million will buy a case of beer.
The states used to ask that question about the feds.
My reparations would be a one way airline ticket to the African country of their choice. Good luck and have fun.
I personally don’t agree with reparations for the myriad reasons that have already been mentioned and I think the Dems are just leading black people on with the possibility of some day getting it passed just to keep them on the Dem plantation. But politically I just can’t imagine a reparations bill passing especially one that dispenses large sums of cash.
What is the caliber of HBCU grads? Anyone know?
