I think when most Americans think of reparations, they think of direct payments and no other remedies, so they get upset about it for all manners of reasons. When discussing reparations, it's far easier to get people on board when you don't talk about direct payments. Payments are part of the solution, but they won't solve the problem. If we had to pick a single option, focusing on communities would have the strongest individual impact.
