What about decendants of whites who owned no slaves or freed their slaves? What about the decendants of blacks who owned slaves? And what about folks decended from both whites and blacks? Do they get to pay reparations to themselves?

And what about somebody like Obama, who identifies as African-American but has no American ancestors who were held in slavery????
In fact, there are millions of black Africans in this country who immigrated here in recent decades. They have no American slave connection either.
They also conveniently forget the wite slavery that existed here as well. Particularly the irish.
