Personally I don't think reparations for slavery should be paid at all. The examples of concentration camp survivors and Japanese Americans are completely different - those payments were made to the actual people who suffered who were still alive. And even then, the only people who received much money at all were the lawyers.
There are no slaves left alive. To even have been born a slave, much less lived in slavery, they would be 135 years old. Reparations to descendents is ridiculous, not to mention being an administrative nightware to determine who is truly a descendent - and how far down the family tree are we supposed to go?
Historically, there is no country in the world where some form of slavery did not exist at some time. These people make it sound like African Americans are the only people who were ever slaves.
