African Americans are owed reparations for the mental, emotional and physical torture that have endured for hundreds of years and still to this day. Other groups have been given reparations(although it will never compare to all they have been through). However, African Americans who were physically forced here against their will and forcing them to give up all inherited property, monies, material, family and culture they had. The US Government owes reparations to African Americans, either in money or some sort of tax credit where they do not need to pay property tax if they own a home.
