It’s just a free money grab - kind of like the looters who take advantage of the protests to grab free stuff.
As I’ve reiterated elsewhere, my ancestors arrived in America after the civil war. We did not enslave anyone and were not farmers so didn’t employ any sharecroppers. One of the 1940 census forms lists a “domestic worker” in the household, who presumably was paid for her labor. So I have trouble understanding why my tax $$ should pay reparations for someone else’s crime.
Same thing with my ancestors. They arrived in the US around 1900 or so, didn't settle in any of the confederate states, and never had anything to do with any of it.
