During the 2020 democratic Presidential primaries, it was the first time ever in the U.S. that most major Democratic Presidential Contenders were talking about the paying #reparations to the descendant of African-Americans. The candidates agreed that slavery was a root causes for today's large-scale social discrimination.

The creation of the commission that would study and talk about the impact of slavery and the Jim Crow discrimination against Black Americans that continued after the emancipation has been supported by many. 

The estimated total cost to black Americans over the last four centuries of slavery, Jim Crow laws, and more contemporary discrimination to be in the range of $10-$20 trillion. It is potentially as big as the nation's annual economic output.

Black families have endured housing discrimination after World War II. These families were unable to obtain the mortgages and were barred by the restrictive covenants from purchasing homes in white areas where housing values rose. The wealth gap between white and black Americans today is substantially the result of the U.S. government-supported housing and employment discrimination. According to the Federal Reserve, the median net worth of the black families in America is less than 15% of that of while families. 

The growing importance of Black, Latino, and Asian American voters and leaders reflects the dramatic demographic changes that are underway in the U.S. These Black, Latino, and Asian Americans now have major political power in California, Texas, Hawaii, New Mexico, and the District of Columbia. 

The Government should pay reparations directly to individuals or establishing forms of compensation, like an investment in majority-black-communities. This lies in the harsh reality of the labor stolen from millions of enslaved people from 1619 to 1865.  

As U.S. history supports the use of reparations, so it should be obliged by the Government to pay the reparations for slavery.
