Members of Newsom's reparations committee have slammed the US trends now

Members of California Governor Gavin Newsom's reparation committee have slammed America as a 'racist country' while others have hit out against 'white superiority.'

Kamilah Moore - the chair of the group - which was created after 2024 hopeful Newsom signed legislation in 2020, has said she plans to be as 'radical as possible' when it comes to her role.

The nine-person group believes that black Americans should receive the money for 'enduring the economic effects' of racism and slavery – after initially making the suggestions in California. 

They are now urging the federal government to pay every African American in the US at least $223,000 for 'housing discrimination' - while continuing to probe other areas for compensation. 

California is the first state to require agencies to present a separate demographic category for descendants of enslaved people.

On Thursday, the New York Times reported that the taskforce has spent months traveling across the West coast to learn about the effect of the policies.

In a March 2022 report, those eligible for the reparations would have to be descendants of enslaved African Americans or of a 'free black person living in the United States prior to the end of the 19th century.

They argue that the money is for housing discrimination practices utilized from 1933 to 1977 – and have 12 more categories to consider.

Members of the panel are calling for the federal government to take on their concerns – a move that could cost billions to fulfill.

DailyMail.com has a closer look at those making the decisions on Newsom's committee, which is chaired by a former entertainment lawyer from Los Angeles.

Entertainment lawyer Kamilah Moore turned her hand to the taskforce when it was first launched after previously working in Los Angeles.

The 30-year-old previously studied at the University of Amsterdam, where she took a series of courses on international criminal law and wrote a thesis on global reparatory justice for the transatlantic slave trade, the institution of slavery, and their legacies.

While she 'probably' wouldn't recommend that the 'police be abolished' in California, Moore added: 'That doesn't mean that I'm not going to try to invite an expert to come and provide testimony.'

Moore was appointed to the Reparations Task Force by Speaker of the Assembly Anthony Rendon.

During her time studying human rights and international law she traveled to Papua New Guinea and helped them with there reparation from a Canadian-owned gold mining corporation.

Dr Amos C Brown, Vice Chair

Civil rights leader Dr Amos Brown studied under Martin Luther King Jr, and was arrested during a sit-in in 1961 to protest segregation in the south.

He told the San Francisco Chronicle that 'America is a racist country' and he knows that, as well as explaining his great-great-grandfather was born enslaved in 1821.

It is unclear if the recommendations by the group will be introduced nationally, but if so it could mean that Dr Brown may be one of the recipients of the $223k the group recommended.

Dr Brown also added that you need the 'right kind of police', and that 'the police need to understand that to wear that badge is not license for you to beat up on human beings.'

Assemblymember Reginald Jones-Sawyer represents the 59th Assembly District, including the communities of Huntington Park, Florence-Firestone, Walnut Park, South Los Angeles, and Exposition Park.

He was appointed to the Reparations Task Force by Speaker of the Assembly Anthony Rendon.

Discussing the repartition group, he told ABC: 'Today we don't treat African Americans as slaves, but when you look at the prison system, you go, 'Oh, I now can connect the dots that the prison industrial system might just be another form of slavery'.'

Jones-Sawyer was inspired to stand up for civil rights after his uncle became one of the first groups of black students who integrated into an all-white high school in Arkansas.
