The issue with reparations is not what you or your ancestors here in the United States "had anything to do with" - it's what you and your ancestors (and mine)...
Oh fine. Then I'll go back 800 years to when my anscetors were slaves/serfs etc. and demand reparations from whoever oppressed them. And so on and so on....
