Actually, Keyes intent is to repair economic hardship - not to compensate directly for being slaves. The economic hardship didn't end in 1865.
It might still be a bad idea, but the rational is based in economics, not the morality of slavery.

So if Alan Keyes is accustomed to drawing a salary of $300K, and he also qualifies for reparations under this plan, how can you honestly make this claim?

You really can't.
