Reparations lead to neverending cycle. Let's assume that X gives reparations to Y. It will inevitably criple the X so in next decades X will blame Y and demand reparations.

Fuck reparations. All of em. Even ones I would profit from.

That's the bigger thing - reparations will do absolutely nothing to repair race relations. Let's be honest, the majority of American blacks who receive reparations will continue to do as they have always done and that money will be pissed away in a generation or two, and that's being generous. On the other side of the coin, taking money and opportunities away from whites (many of whom are poor as well), and more recent immigrant populations like Indians, Asians, or pick a Slavic country that had nothing to do with colonialism or slavery, will become incredibly resentful and lash back out in whatever way they can.

Slavs were arguably greater victims of slavery for longer than blacks, and with less participation of their racial compatriots.
