Millions of African slave owners sold their own to the English and Spanish settlers. Even today, millions of Africans are enslaved by Muslims in Libya and Sudan. But none of that matters when whites aren't part of the equation.

Many of them were family members buying freedom for enslaved loved ones.
Same with white people up north. Many Quakers would buy black people for freedom. This way if the black folks ever went back south the could not be re slaved, Kinda like an owners title to a car sad but true..

There is slavery going on today, Great men like Reggie White (Minister of Defense) would spend a lot of his NFL money buying black Children out of slavery in Africa and putting them in good adoptive homes..

So then you agree that taxing for reparations for slavery is illogical.

Yet the owner of BET is asking for 13.7 trillion $ in reparations from people who had nothing to do with it .
(side note, the UST says all the printed and coined US currency in existence is aprox 2T)
