People all around the word have suffered wrongs in the past. If we tried to right every past wrong we'd just end up in one hopeless circle jerk of shuffling money about from one marginalized ethnicity to the next. Eventually there would be no surplus and everyone would have to go back to work. The concept of X was taken from me so I deserve Y in return contradicts itself because accepting Y in return is just taking X from someone else. When does it end? Because something bad happened in the past we are entitled to any arbitrary thing we might think of with that kind of logic anyone and everyone is entitled to reparations from somebody.

Not having a clear idea of world history and current events in combination must ease the mental process of finding it morally and ethically acceptable to accept a handout.

TANSTAAFL - "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch"

The protestors demanding reparations are blithely ignoring the fact that the money has to come from somewhere. Who's going to foot their free lunch? And how is that any more acceptable than the very wrongs they are demanding to be righted?

I can only assume they just don't give a f**k as long as they get what they want it doesn't matter where it comes from.
