There are a ton of people who want reparations from the US, but it will be a completely fruitless battle. This case will probably have the same outcome. Regardless, the majority of long-standing wealth in Europe and the US was earned from slavery. There are rich families today that earned their clout and wealth due to slavery. It sucks that that's the reality when so many African Slave descendants have less opportunities and face economic discrimination. I don't think this will end up happening, but I don't disagree with the sentiment
