US President Joe Biden administration announced today, Wednesday, its intention to support a study on whether descendants of enslaved people in the United States should receive reparations.

White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters on Wednesday that Biden administration would support a study on whether descendants of enslaved people should receive reparations, Reuters reported.

Reparations have been used around the world to compensate victims of war, rape, terror and a host of other historical injustices.

But the United States has never made much headway in its discussions of whether or how to compensate African Americans for more than 200 years of slavery and help make up for racial inequality.
