This is as bad as the crime of slavery itself, in that it indentures generations to a debt to be paid.
No black person living today was ever a slave in the US. I was never a cracker and should not be forced to pay. Any person that thinks so should be given a one way plane ticket to fly back to whatever country they think they belong to. Maybe they can get their wish and be a slave in some UN member country.

It's not really an admission of guilt.
In aggregate, blacks have difficulty being successful in this society so they need some help. We see this in a number of socioeconomic inequalities. Reparations are simply additional gibsmedats.
