Reparations? Beyond Ridiculous

So these "lawmakers" -- who are angry that reparations aren't forthcoming -- are demanding what? That people who themselves didn't suffer under the yoke of slavery be entitled to take money by force of law from another group of people, who didn't themselves enslave anyone?

In a different time, honest people would be ashamed to try to claim other fellow citizens' money for a historical wrong perpetrated by and upon long-dead forbears. What's more, in some circles, using coercion to take from people who owe you nothing -- and to whom you yourself have provided nothing of value -- is called stealing. Look into it.
