It takes and redistributes.
So ultimately some taxpayer is going to foot the bill.
And don't say "everyone pays". If you are getting more than you are giving - you're being paid.
All claims to the contrary are smoke and mirrors.

Detail how it is racist.
It’s racist because you seem to think that reparations might be paid out according to whose ancestors owned and traded slaves, ie, ‘white people’. That’s not remotely how something like this would work. The US government allowed, supported and and gave legal protections to slavery and apartheid. The government will pay, not individuals.

I'm not racist - you simply don't understand finances.
