If you want to increase racism and make all parties involved more resentful, go ahead and enact reparations. It’s just another unwarranted, immoral redistribution of wealth on top of the unwarranted, immoral redistribution of wealth from slaves who died well over a century ago. Nothing else will be accomplished except assuage the guilt of some descendants of slaveowners by giving all living descendants of slaves money from people who for the most part aren’t descendants of slaveowners.
