But it’s not a small trade-off. It’s an illegal practice.

But you are ok with storming the Capitol Building.  Interesting.

I would have been all for reparations 125 years ago, but we're a little late. Too late. Besides, what about the Native Americans? No group of people in the U.S. has been treated worse. They deserve reparations before any other group.

This is completely what's wrong with our society.  The perception of a large group of people think everything has been just fine since slavery ended.  Racism and Discrimination continues long after slavery.  Heck, just look at the trials and tribulations of our US Military as they dealt with sexual harassment cases and sexual preference discrimination via their "don't ask don't tell" policy.
