It’s clear you haven’t researched anything. The recipients of reparations were limited to the Washington DC area and weren’t extended to any of the slaveholding states, Delaware did decline the offer. In my research, which I have done, I haven’t found one example of a Black slaveowner receiving reparations, perhaps you can cite one?

After the war, the former slaveholding states implemented Black Codes which did their best to emulate slavery. They sent many slaves back to the same plantations from where they were once freed. Before you assume anything about the Black Codes, I suggest you look them up.

The Black Codes were replaced by Jim Crow which lasted until the mid 1960s. Your assumption that a descendant of a Black slaveowner being a doctor means the family stayed wealthy holds no water. Many Black doctors are descended from enslavement, In a few generations, all things are possible.

I would assume less if I were you. You know what they say, except in this case it only applies to you!
