Jews and japanese people were compensated because what was done to them was illegal. The jews were not betrayed by their own people and sold to the germans as laborors. As much as you may not like it, it was legal at the time to have slaves. The africans that were brought here were sold by other african tribes that conquered them in war, if you want to sue anyone try sueing your own people. oh wait thats right they have no money. so take ours instead. You want reporations? well how is the welfare and food stamps we as a government have been giving to the african american community for years?

Err, they give out food stamps and welfare to the caucasians too, just so you know
And the fact that they "paid" for "conquered" slaves is highly disputable. For one, they gave them a currency that was without value in exchange for slaves. And 2, they didn't really have an option, because the colonists' weaponry was superior, and they would have just as easily deported whole tribes (which happened just the same) if they put up much of a fight.
