Yes, the American government should pay reparations for condoning slavery. The reparations should go to all former slaves...wait, how many are over 135 years old?
I believe that slavery was wrong. And I believe the treatment of slaves should be covered in history class to a great extent...just as the treatment of Japanese-Americans during World War II and Native Americans throughout the history of the United States (and every other group who was treated poorly) should be covered.
We should, as my life motto goes, "acknowledge and move on"...learn from our pass so we are not doomed to repeat it, as the saying goes.
