European and American countries that enslaved African people and scattered them in the African Diaspora should pay reparations for their slave crimes. So by the same criteria, children bought here illegally by their parents, or born here to illegal alien parents, are responsible for the actions of their parents and should be deported along with their parents since we are establishing that descendants have responsibility for their ancestors' transgressions.

Africans, Muslims, Arabs, and Europeans enslaved Africans.

If it hadn’t happened that way, none of them would even exist, would they? Maybe they should be paying us.

I’d be glad to pay reparations to all African-Americans living in the U.S. for past slavery as long as we can offset what we owe them by the value of the benefit inured to them of living in this country compared to living in the Hellhole of Africa. Given that, they owe us about a billion or so, at least.

99.9% of today's Africans would pay *us* for the right to carry a US passport.Perhaps the best solution to all this is to offer any American black who wants it free passage to the capital city of the African nation of their choice.Upon arrival the US citizenship of that person would be revoked.
For each such American who accepts this offer an African will be given the chance to qualify for a Green Card.
Problem solved.

African slaves were not taken freely from Africa. They were sold to Europeans. The point is there are no slaves in real time in the free world.
In the USA alone, the most destitute live better by far than those who crossed the ocean in the 18th and 19th century. Reparations is nothing but a means to convince people that are content with life to give to those who are not content.
Those who have had slaves and willingly promoted such are long dead.

Good idea. Here’s another one.
With DNA testing we should be able to tell which tribe a person originally was from.
We then compare the socio-economic status of the current tribal people,and their diasopora counterparts.
If the displaced are better off, they owe us reparations.
If they are equal, it’s a “push”.
If the Africans are better off, we use the money paid to us
by the first group to send the “unfortunates” back to their home tribe.

My ancestors were driven out of Ireland by the British.It could,perhaps,be said that the Brits owe reparations to *those ancestors* but they certainly don’t owe me anything because when it comes to nationality I won the lottery on the day when I was born in the United States of America.
