What does the government owe to the descendants of slaves?

Asked by Aster (20023points) May 11th, 2013

There is a singer, in the news, who said she didn’t pay income taxes to the tune of 1 million dollars because her “parents” were slaves and , in her opinion, the government really owes her instead. What are your thoughts on what reparations the descendents of slaves are due, if any, and why? Are there specific ways in which we can help heal their wounds from the injustice of slavery?
