current United States.
Considering basic economics and "real property" this is a huge advantage to those who in the past Undermined Democracy to be its economic leaders through unjust means against the goals of our country?

In short, No! Unfortunately when most Americans look at our prosperity and wealth as a country, then don't realize that it was because of institutionalized slavery that vast amounts of wealth were attained. It is easier to blow it off and just say things like "Get a life" , "I'm not a slave owner", or "Go back to Africa". America would rather impode than acknowledge this with actual reparations because paying such a thing could amount ~$1.5 trillion dollars in wages alone not including property awarded to slaves by Pres. Lincoln in Georgia & South Carolina but rebuked by Pres. Jackson once Lincoln was assasinated. Also paying reparations, especially at this vast cost, would cause an increased level racism and hate crimes.
