Any serious discussion of reparations has to include all slave owners, not just whites. Of course, I've yet to hear a "serious" discussion of reparations, so I won't hold my breath.

That's because 99% of slave owners weren't white

What about the current slave owners and slave traders? None of them are white.

Even back when some white people had slaves those white people made up less than 1% of slave owners and traders. In all of history most white people were anti-slavery and usually the victims of slavery and they still are today.
