When people talk about reparations they generally are referring to slavery, but that's reason is easy to dismiss for several reasons.

CIA ops ran against the black community is different and within living memory. It would be much more difficult for people to dismiss its validity as a reason for reparations.

You might be onto something.
If someone says I need to pay reparations, I say, my family ended slavery, you should be thanking me not demanding tribute like some conqueror. It's ungrateful and dishonorable to demand reparations from your savior. I don't owe black people anything. They owe me their lives. Where is my reward for my family saving you all from chattel slavery. Without us you would still be whipped into subservience to pick our crops. You should be kissing our feet and thanking god that we brought you here from Africa so you don't have to be a starving African or a Haitian being cooked in a tire fire and eaten by cannibal warlords. You get to live in the USA. Thank me. You owe me that much you fucking loser.

But if we're talking about the CIA smuggling crack cocaine into the ghetto so they could fund their black ops wars in South America, while destroying the black family unit... then maybe you have a point. But also, the USA is bankrupt and you ain't getting shit nigga.
