Agreed. I don't think America owes them any money but I do think the inner city policies should change that affect black people and poorer whites. Something is not working. Education, policing, and social programs need to be revamped and become more effective. It is a problem you can see for yourself if you ever visit a school in a poor neighborhood white or black. There is no reason for the schools in the rich neighborhood to have great after school programs, new books, full extra curricular activity support, and even better lunch. In the poor neighborhood there will only be detention for the after school program, old tattered books with pages torn out, 3 sports to choose from, and the chef's meat surprise.
America owes these people white & black something but it isn't money in hand.
