Why aren’t they suing the AFRICAN nations that were the suppliers of slaves for the European slave traders?

Because most of the African nations are poorer than they are!

There is a well-established legal principle that says you always sue whoever has the deepest pockets, whether you have a case or not.

The African nations are poorer than they are. They are also run by ‘people of color’.

Exactly! They should sue the tribes in Africa that captured and sold their ancestors. Many of those tribes still maintain the coastal forts as tourist attractions and take pride in their part in the slave trade. Many are still actively involved in the slave trade today.

Aside from the other “plaintiffs”, Haiti became a free and primarily black run island over 200 years ago. Their history is a good indicator of how every “african” run country inside and outside of africa is run.

In this country, I would consider reparations AFTER they pay the descendants of all union soldiers who fought, bled, or died in freeing their ancestors reparations for making them free. If they want to sue an entity here then sue the party of slavery and the KKK, the democrat party.

They are simply following the money.
