You beat me to it but HE actually gets zero because he’s a former slave OWNER’S ggggg grandson.
the article didn't say his ancestor was a slave owner or was from a family that owned slaves - only that he was a Confederate soldier. Notice how the lying LA Times deliberately tries to conflate Confederate Soldier with "defender of slavery". These are two totally different things. They just FALSELY ASSUME everybody who fought for the Confederacy was "defending slavery". They were not of course. They were defending their home from invasion. The VAST majority of Southern Whites did not own slaves.
There were thousands of black slave owners. Some owned plantations. Are their descendants going to get reparations?
