I understand where you're coming from..but in the context of this convo they are. The still (and forever) unrealized fear of people suffering from white anxiety is that reparations means taking what is rightfully the white mans and giving it to the undeserving black man. That..somehow, the scales are being (or will be) unfairly tipped against one and in favor of the other. That the black man can now or will one day be able to stick it to the white man.
Yes, Benny shrugs me off as a far left radical, but that's due to narrative framing, not due to political correctness or social justice being far left issues - even though I am, coincidentally, a far left radical in ways entirely absent and opposed to any form of leftism in the US (tidily explaining a part of my refusal to participate in a vote between the right and the right-lite, lol). For my part, I actually don't shrug him off as alt right, I've wasted a few pages of these many telling him that over and over, but he has white anxiety...so it doesn't hit home. That's been the success story of white supremacist propagandizing - they've spread the disease far beyond the traditionally afflicted.
-and precisely because those newly afflicted really are decent, generally non racist people..they simply cannot accept or comprehend the fact that they've been manipulated into advocating for those positions.
"I've been parroting the racists? The fuck you say, I'm not a racist! Fuck you fuck you fuck you, you're the racist, and fuck people pulling the race card on ME!"
I will say this, though...if a person has been inadvertently taken in by the recruiting propaganda of white supremacy, and communicates it with any sort of reliability..a person pulling the race card on them probably isn't coming out of a vacuum.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
