Would the Black ancestors of Black slavemasters have to pay reparations or would they be exempt because they are Black?

Nope, they would not/should not be exempt. If the Blacks who were owned by these Black slave masters families could document that they were owned by them like Sharpton;Their asses can get sued,too.

Why are people acting like this is so complicated? There were three things at work here. THere was the INDIVIDUAL slave owners(that would have to be documented by the families of the decendants and pursued by INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE/FAMILY/DESCENDANTS,if they so chose), there was the PRIVATE BUSINESS aspect,:insurance companies/shipping companies, etc. who benefitted and profited, and there was the GOVERNMENT itself, which would be more of a class action thing. They all played roles and can all be addressed in a three pronged approach.

When the government paid the Japanesesurvivors and families of WW2 interment camps, reparations, back in the 1980'/90'ss for sh*t that happened in the 40's.The tax money of people working in the 1980's was used to pay for sh*t that they had nothing to do with, andpossibly weren't even alive at the time of. So all of the confusion and overcomplication of things isn't really valid.

That is not a fair assessment at all. The majority of the Black slave owners had "papers" on family members such as brothers, sisters, children, and wives. They had to buy them from slave masters to reunite their families. It is callous and absolutely nonsensical to make these families pay restitution when it was their only way of uniting their families and loved ones. If anything, they should get more restitution for having to put out money to be with their families and loved ones.
