In the Article “The Case for Reparations” by Ta-Nehisi Coates, he speaks on the reparations African-American deserve. In other words Afro- Americans need payment for everything that they’ve gone through throughout history. Such as many years of slavery, many years of segregation, and many years of abuse. He believes that the nation owes the African-American for many years of abuse. Which is something I agree with because after the 13th amendment, discrimination against afro-americans became very popular and KKK advocates began to rise and many death out of hate began to rise as well and nothing was being done to fix these issues. Civil rights leaders like Malcom X and Martin Luther King Jr were murdered just because they wanted to see equality in between races in America. Ever since the 13th amendment the abolishment of slavery; afro-americans should’ve stopped being viewed as animals but as humans with blood and flesh. Instead they were judged by the color of their skin and not their character. Their lives were taken away due to the simple fact that they had more melanin then others. So what race deserves reparations in this country? I say African-Americans.
