Is there anyone alive today that isn’t, at least partially, descended from some slave or another, some number of generations ago? That’s a lot of reparations to circulate.

Hey, there are active slave markets all over the world, right now, especially in Africa. How many of these reparations mongers give half a damn?

Some of my relatives were enslaved by the Turks. Possibly some were my direct ancestors if they had produced children who weren't captured at the time they were.

Perhaps some descendants of those enslaved could someday prove where their ancestors were taken from through DNA, but in the meantime the Turks should be paying reparations to the countries from which the slaves were taken--Greece, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, etc. (plus nations whose citizens were captured on the high seas and enslaved).
