You could go wow! If that is how I feel from such a small sleight, imagine if my mom was raped repeatedly, my dad whipped and hung from a bough. Maybe I should shut my snivelling mouth and put my back into my living and quit whining like a little bish.

My great grandfather was enslaved and then murdered as part of systematic oppression of millions of people.

Am I entitled to reparations?

Mom and dad is one thing, but no one alive today had that happen to their parents, so this is just emotional manipulation. For people alive today it was more like great great great grandparents. There are awful things that were done to blacks at scale in living memory, but nothing like what you're talking about.
