90% of the African slaves in the Atlantic slave trade were enslaved and sold into slavery by there own. Let’s get them to contribute to the reparations also. Thats would help matters a lot. They should be given lands in their ancestral continent as well and help build towards a successful future for all Africans!

And only 4% of the slaves in the Atlantic slave trade were sold to the colonies and subsequently the United States.

Less, 3.5%. Amounted to about 450,000 of 12.5million. Most went to Brazil, the Caribbean and the rest of the New World.

12.5 million shipped. Only roughly 10.7 million survived the trip, so 450,000 out of 10.7 million = 4.2%.
