The counterpoints, of course, are two:

First, the people who stole those resources are no longer alive. So, one can reasonably question the morality of removing said resources from those who had no proximate benefit from them.

Second, as another poster has pointed out, reparations, in the form of various government programs such as affirmative action, have been distributed for half a century now. Oddly, there's no talk about netting out the current demands against benefit already recieved.

But, I've come to take a "yea, whatever" view of the matter. If you apply the very principles of the demand-side economics that the US Democrats prefer. the majority of any monies paid out in reparations will end up in the hands of the ownership class in a few years. There's probably no better way to jack up the stock of WMT and AMZN than to pass out half a trillion dollars in reparation money.
