It's not about cash, or even a logical argument about why it might be correct.

It's about emphasizing how blacks are owed an unlimited debt that can never ever possibly be repaid.

The more ridiculous the reparations demand the better. It's lets them be even more outraged when they're denied.

The last thing they want is a check for $50k each and an agreement "OK, no more systemic racism, we're square now."

If you include the cost of welfare and the cost of crime, blacks owe everyone else reparations.
