The US should pay reparations for slavery in the form of $100B given to educational and economic renewal in the black community, just as Germany paid $89B in reparations to Jews after WW2 & the US paid $20,000 in reparations to each surviving victim of Japanese internment camps.

The two situations aren't the same. Slaves aren't around anymore . The Germans killed 6 million Jews. Who would get reparations?? And how much ???

There were roughly 4 million slaves at end of the Civil War. 40 acres & a mule were promised to each, then either not given or else given & then taken back. Full economic integration into free society was never accomplished; morally their descendants are still owed restitution.
