It's a harmful practice. It pisses off people that did not have slaves to pay money to people that were not slaves.

Interestingly, according to some sources, the argument for reparations can be traced back to an order given by General Sherman during his now-infamous slash-and-burn march through the South during the civil war. Apparently Sherman ordered 40 acres of land and a mule to be given to every former slave. The U.S. government never fulfilled this promise, however, and it has been a key part of many of the pro-reparations arguments since that time.

Here are a few links with more detailed information than I could possibly fit here. The first one is really interesting.
