I think that Americans should not pay reparations to the descendants of slave and these are my reasons as to why. First off it would be hard to trace down the descendant. Secondly, no amount of money can pay off what the slaves have been through. And finally, if they pay the descendants the money, they would not appreciate to money as much as the slaves would have.
I believe that just because you're “black” and live in America, does not make you a descendant of a slave. After slavery, you don't know if the slaves travelled and had children in other countries. Although you may think “well there are websites that help trace down your ancestors”, how exactly do you know your ancestors didn't change their first or last names? There so many questions
