You can't lump Africa into one. There are 54 countries in Africa and some of those countries are actually becoming very progressive.
Here is a list.

But as for as the who history thing and giving reparations. As for as I know, my family tree doesn't consist of any black slaves from the 1800s. The only thing I know about my family in terms of when they came on the US is on my grandpa's side, which came from Germany. Other than that, I have no idea how the others got here. Honestly, I do care if they were forced or what, but I am sure as hell they did come to the US.

If I were black and my family tree consisted of slaves, I would think, that at the time it was a horrible situation, but it did lead to a better life for future generations.
