  1. If black people get reparations then northern Europeans should get reparations from the Italians for making slaves for Rome out of them, and all Europeans should get reparations from Turkey for taking slaves from all the coastal cities for over two hundred years under the Ottomans, because they have as much to do with the slavery back then as modern Americans do the small number of large slave owners in the South. And how about reparations from the black African raiders who delivered the other Africans to the slave trader ships on the coast or the Arabs who took most of the black slaves? How about the native South Americans made slaves by the Spanish and Portuguese Empires and worked to death in silver mines and rubber plantations, ditto for the Cubans and other Caribbean peoples. How about the natives of the Congo enslaved by Belgium and brutalized beyond comprehension? How about the millions of Chinese enslaved by their own people and worked to death building the Great Wall? How about the Germans and Russians and others worked to death in the Soviet Gulag? The Jews and Poles used as slave labor by the Nazis? The Native Americans taken as slaves by other Native American tribes? It goes on and on, there are hundreds if not thousands of examples of all the different peoples of the earth being slaves at one time or another. The fact is that almost everyone has slavery in their ancestry. Real history is full of slavery but I only ever hear one small sub-group who continue to cry about it and try to monetize the fact that their ancestors were slaves over a century ago.
