Slavery hasn't materially effected the lives of blacks today? Are you series?

No, but I am serious.

Then why are we having a discussion about reparations? Why was there a civil rights movement? Why were there Jim Crowe laws? Why is there affirmative action? Why was there a KKK? Why, for that matter, were there a 14th and 15th Amendments?

If the effects of slavery ended with the end of slavery all those things make no sense.
