Promoters of entitlements due from slavery ignore biological facts. Each descendent of slaves resulted from the union of a particular sperm and a particular egg. For centuries slavery thoroughly scrambled procreative pairings from what they would have been without slavery. So, if not for slavery virtually no slave descendents alive today would ever have been born. Rather than reparations to slave descendents, it would make more sense for them to cut a check to their favorite former slave state.
