Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn said Friday that it is time for the U.S. to “make amends” with black families in America by returning land their ancestors owned which was taken from them.
Hahn, who recently announced this month that she would give back land black owners lost through eminent domain to their descendants, added other governments outside of Los Angeles should follow her lead.
“I think this is the first time in our nation that a government has given land back to an African American family to make amends for past discrimination and atrocities and policies that were enacted, that really limited African Americans’ ability to own businesses, to own property, to even buy homes in certain neighborhoods,” she told TMZ on Friday.
“This is a very small step towards what I think this whole country should be doing — and that is working to repair and to make amends with the African Americans in this country,” she added.
The land Hahn is referencing is a beachfront plot in the Manhattan Beach neighborhood of Los Angeles, which the owners lost through eminent domain in 1924.
The plot is now worth about $72 million. Homes along the beachfront regularly sell for $20 million, according to a real estate broker’s listings website

I agree, and all the whites, Hispanics and Asians that have had their property taken with eminent domain should be paid every dollar above what they already got that they deserve, which is nothing.
Cry baby… stop making a living off tax payers using welfare you bum
You are a joke
I hear that there is plenty of land available back in Africa. Feel free to leave whenever you want. Also, there are hardly any police or laws in most of the country so you could be free to act like animals without any fear. No “systemic racism”, no more white man holding you down, no more of those pesky laws designed to “target black people”. You could steal, rob, lie and cheat whenever you wanted to!!! Sounds like the perfect “gangster’s paradise” you so desperately crave.
Wouldn’t most of the land go back to the Native Americans?
Actually artifacts show that European’s were here 700 years before the Indians. So they aren’t really native to America
Janice Hahn can give her property up first
I think Pelosi – Obama – Clintons – they should start by giving up their land and citizenships, through in Kerry – Soros – and any other traitor of the US
