Punishing this generation for the actions of past generations makes about as much sense as punishing a son for the crimes of his father. If any reparations are owed they should have been paid by those who committed the unjust acts and not their descendants or others just because they are members of the same race.
Improving programs for the impoverished should be encouraged regardless of how they got there. To my way of thinking this is much different than trying to justify paying reparations directly to the descendants of an abused race by the descendants of other races who had nothing to do with it.
