I hate to break this to this fool, but most of the slaves were sold into slavery by fellow Africans, and there is not a person alive today who cannot find someone whose ancestors were not wronged, by slavery, genocide or other heinous acts by another.

Slavery has been illegal in the US longer than it was legal... half a million men lost their lives fighting a war you claim was just about this.... and while it is estimated about 12.5 million slaves were taken from Africa, less than 400,000 wound up on the mainland of North America. So in other words more men died in the United States in a war to end slavery than were ever imported into the continental US to begin with.

I am not going to defend slavery, it’s a heinous endeavor that devalues human dignity... however the notion that reparations are owed to descendants of those who’s ancestors endured it is beyond silly.
