If everyone of African ancestry were given a million dollars, we would hear sob stories about how some went broke due to a racist system which didn’t allow them to manage money well, or that scammers went into the ghetto, and scammed people out of reparations money.
If this ever happened,I’m sure some would use the money wisely and productively, but we would be told the bad news stories how we just didn’t give enough money to truly compensate for slavery.
Its a complete fiction, which gives blacks a false sense of righteousness, and above all, gives the left a cudgel they can use to beat on American culture.

If slaves truly built anything lasting, the South would have won the Civil War and Capitalist Britain would not have outlawed it and hunted slave-traders.
When compared with modern capitalism and technology, human slave labor was like comparing a jet airplane to a horse and buggy
