First off, don't generalize groups of people it's bad to do when trying to get a point across.
The main reason, I think, that so many black people think they deserve reparations is because they are told they deserve them by the media. It's no secret that most popular news media sources tend to have a left leaning bias. Because of the bias more news outlets tend to push the idea that blacks are victims. This can be seen as an increase of people believing blacks are treated less fairly in certain situations from traffic stops to getting healthcare from hospitals.
All that being said, I can't really blame them for believing in those things. It's hard to say that blacks people are completely equal to whites because that's a hard thing to quantify. It is true that a higher percentage of blacks live in poverty and honestly if I were in that position of being offered cash just because of my race it would be tempting, but I don't think cash reparations are the way to go. I think a better way to deal with the disparity is to introduce jobs to places with higher poverty rates and give jobs incentives to hire people below the poverty line regardless of race especially those who are younger.
Why do black people still act like we owe them something for slavery?
