Answer 1

This question is about Reparations for slavery in the United States

Answer:

B.Victims who received reparations in the past suffered the injustices firsthand; the descendants of enslaved people did not.

Explanation:

Slavery reparation is an established practice in the USA that sought to secure compensation for freed slaves and who are still seeking to extend this compensation to their descendants. Although the first indemnities were given in the form of a pension, nowadays this indemnity is proposed in different ways and may be a sum of money, scholarships, agreements, tax exemptions, among others.

This practice is very controversial today, because many claim that the victims of slavery deserved reparation because they suffered injustices directly, first hand; however, their descendants do not.
