Black Africans had a good business going on capturing and selling other black African into the slave trade. Not to mention that in the United States there were up to about 30,000 slave owners who were black. Blacks owning other blacks. Which means to be fair, every black person needs to do their genealogy and find out if their ancestors were slaves or slave owners. Because if they were slave owners then they get no reparations. If if their ancestor was a slave who was freed and then worked until he could afford his own slaves. No reparations for you.
