I am not going to apologize for your ancestors being slaves. In the years of this nation blacks, whites, Native Americans and Chinese have been slaves and non of them have gotten their due reparations.
I know life is still not fair and equal for blacks. It’s not fair and equal for NA either and the government is stealing more of their land and heritages.
My ancestors were a Celtic mix and the first choice of the British for slaves to work their southern plantations but we were not well suited to long toil in the hot sun and strong black slaves were expensive.
Being thrifty they set up breeding farms on a couple of islands and bred white women to black men. The resulting slaves were hearty and cheap.
Humans have been making slaves of others since we settled down to farming and building villages. There is nothing we can do to change our history but we can work on eliminating racism now and in the future. That is where my energy goes
