I once worked with a senior engineer, Ivy League educated, his father was equivalent of Sec of Agriculture in Egypt. He vehemently denied that the Jews were ever mistreated there, rather they were finally kicked out because they were too much of a welfare burden.

I see two avenues for reparations; first - provide the financial reparation to the original [living] slave, second - provide a one-way ticket for up to 20 decedents of said slave to the country from which the slave was originally kidnapped from.
(Of course the slave, if still surviving, may take both first AND second options if they so desire.)
Reparations, no. Repatriation, Oh Hell Yeah. |

Shouldn't be a problem. I hear there's a freight car full at the bottom of Lake Michigan. |
