I'm expected to pay him for something not done to him by someone other than me. And why is that? Because the villains in this situation were white, like me, and beneficiaries like him will be black, like the original victims.
Yet in all of that, due only to race, the innocent will pay the unharmed because of what the real villains did to the actual victims.
I was in a discussion with a black friend about reparations. I grew tired of the argument and told him to give me $200. He demanded to know why. I told him a black stole my bike when I was younger and I was to be paid back for it. Since he was demanding I pay money to him because I happen to have the same color of skin as some else who did something wrong, I wanted the same from him.
He has refused to talk to me about reparations ever since.
