The U.S. Federal Government ought to pay reparations to African Americans because…
The US Government is already broke! The Government spent 1,000,000,000 dollars in 8 hours and 20 min, and at the rate the government is spending it on things like repairing roads and other stuff, they’re going to go bankrupt. With some simple division I learned that the Louisiana Senator just asked Congress for 250 BILLION dollars to rebuild New Orleans so if you lived in a family of four people you would get $206612. Washington DC are your calculators broken?

Slavery ended more than 160 years ago at the cost of several hundred thousand lives lost in the Civil War.

    Case Analysis From a multicultural perspective, African Americans value family and religion. I believe this comes from the early African American family values from the “slavery days” because our ancestors had to endure and tolerate a lot of hard work, hardship, discrimination, and mistreatment. Because of this, they heavily relied on prayer and each other just to make it through each day. For most African American families, valuing family and religion still exists and many households, but that doesn’t mean that our culture are without other troubles. As a matter of fact, most times African American families like to keep their personal problems in the household to keep others out of their private matters which can be both a good and bad…

    Since there are no living slaves at the moment it would be impossible to compensate the people who had been mistreated. In addition why would we pay African Americans in general using the theory that what American had done to the slaves has held them back in any sort of way? Blaming the economic problems someone has today because of something that happened over a century and a half ago is just ridiculous. But let’s consider the fact we end up paying reparations for whatever reason. Say someone like Barack Obama, he is of a mixed heritage.…
