The amount paid to Japanese and native Americans were in the low billions. Reparations packages being thrown around total in the trillions. Not really fair to compare.

H.R.40 - 115th Congress (2017-2018): Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act
'Explore reparations' - to 'gain traction' on social media - The American Mirror
As Democrats are poised to take over the majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, one item on the agenda will be to “study” the need for reparations for descendants of slaves.
Texas Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee plans to reintroduce a bill that would create a committee to look at financial compensation for blacks.
“It’s a commission to study the issue of what was the economic impact of the work of slaves and how does it translate in the 21st Century. And what we want to do is to build a narrative, a story of the facts and out of that be able to access how we repair some of the damage,” Jackson Lee recently told Nick Ballasy.
Watch:
“When you look at urban blight, when you look at schools in inner cities and rural communities that are not at the level of excellence that they should be, when you look at support for [historically black colleges and universities], all of that will be part of understanding that whole journey and that whole economic journey,” she added, according to JP Media.
“And it is interesting that these magnificent buildings were built by slaves, obviously with no compensation. That is not what we are asking for; this bill is to have a commission to hear from people all over the nation.”
She said her bill is “a beginning process and an educational process for the nation in a non-controversial manner, and not in a manner of pitting one group of people against another.”
Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is backing the effort, saying “public servants” should “explore reparations” to “build an audience.”
Jackson Lee’s comments come just a few months after Maxine Waters told a group that she would help push reparations if Democrats retook the majority.
During an appearance in Selma, Alabama in March, Waters appeared alongside CNN commentator Angela Rye.
Waters took her time to — what else — attack President Trump, criticizing him for his alleged connections to Russia.

Stop lyin' nicca.
I read some of these comments. There has to be a lot of bots posting in here.
Show me a bill.
I'm not indian. So keep that c00n shyt to yourself. Black democrats are out here and we're not tolerating your divisive bullshyt this go around.
MAGA country is not around here
He really wrote that like there isn’t a precedent in the US.
Slaveowners even got reparations because they couldn’t get anyone to work the land. Thus the black codes came into play.
This is what yall wanted, isn't it? 
Scholars like Sandy Darrity have already did the research and the economic effects of slavery, jim crow and mass incarceration. fukk a committee give us tangibles. We have been given 'baby steps' for 400 years it's time to walk or Democrats can watch as they never enter the white house again.
You. Need. A. Bill.
We are tired of bills! We pay them every month

They're talking about Sandy Darity having a seat on that committee. He already has a seat at the table.
That's the point of the movement to pressure the Democrats into creating a bill. how is that hard to understand idiot?
