I see no evidence of slavery reparations gaining momentum. I suppose it is all in the company you keep?

That's cause its "quiet" don't ya know. It isn't gaining momentum. First, there's no extra $$. Second, anyone who supported it from a white district would be drummed out of office.

I wonder if my English/Welsh/Scots genes should compensate my Irish genes for the years of repression by the British Empire against Ireland. Oh, wait a minute, my Welsh and Scots genes were also repressed by the English centuries earlier. Oh, wait, all the above were repressed by those Vikings and Danes and before that the Romans (except that the Anglo-Saxons did not arrive until after the Romans lost control).

Taken to its logical limit, everyone could seek reparations from someone. What we need to do is stop looking at race and look toward the future. What my great, great-grandfathers did with their slaves means little in the 21th Century where the USA offers the potential for individual advancement far beyond any country on earth.
