WHY REPARATIONS WHEN ONLY 25% WERE SLAVE OWNERS !!! BLACKS ALSO OWNED SLAVES!!!

"Slavery in the Asante Empire of West Africa"--There is an unfortunate practice in intellectual, political people like Barack Hussein Obama in his books, racist groups , etc. circles to mainly critique only White people for their involvement in imperialism and slavery.   Rarely do commentators discuss these enterprises from a non-Western angle.  Throughout history, Black people have willingly participated in imperialism and slavery.

Note:  It is also rarely, if any time, mentioned that in America there were "Freemen Blacks" who were also slave owners, some having quite a few slaves.

As far as White slave owners, less than 25% of Whites in the South and North owned slaves.  As far as those who were soldiers in the Confederate Army, most didn't ever own slaves, most were farmers on small farms, merchants, teachers, etc., they were mainly fighting for their homeland and states rights (It would be good if states still had "states rights" today, so the Socialist in federal government could not rule what schools and colleges had to teach to get federal funding, against things that our country was founded on, such as religion, free speech, the people had a say in government, etc.   Thousands of Western Europeans fled their countries for the freedoms they founded in the New World.
