The funny thing about reparations is you just have to go back one step in the process of slavery and you arrive at the black Africans who enslaved and sold nearly 100% of the Africans sent over hear. The European slavers where middle men. The practice of selling other Africans into slavery was universal among West African tribes. Pretty much all current African Americans are descendent from these same tribes, so if they want to get reparations from the ancestors of those who profited from depriving their own ancestors of freedom, they need look no farther than their neighbor. Pretty much every black person in the us has a slaver for an ancestor
