The idea of reparations is ridiculous, for so many different reasons. Why should America pay reparations to people who are no longer alive? Why should people who did not own slaves, be responsible to people who aren't slaves? Most who came into the U S, entered after the Civil War, so thus, they wouldn't even be responsible for slavery in the U S in the first place. In addition, Africans sold their slaves--victims in tribal raids--to the slavers in the first place. If anyone owes reparations, it's Africa.
The first owner of a black slave was a black man, and some free blacks owned black slaves; where are the discussions of the free blacks that owned black slaves?
