Didn’t say I support reparations.

But in the case of existing, quasi-reparations-like programs, such as Affirmative Action, I think the only group of Americans entitled are those who are actually decendants of slavery here in the USA.

In my view, these are the Americans who were/are entitled to Affirmative Action and other leg-up, quasi-reparations-like programs.

The only way I can possibly interpret that statement is that you support AA and reparations for individuals who are 'actually decendants (sic) of slavery here in the USA'.

Which, if true, leads to the undeniable conclusion that you support AA and reparations.

That might be what he is trying to say or it might not be, but it's not what he said. Twice, even.

No, I’m saying if the programs exist, these are the people who were entitled.

The point is no one is entitled to those programs, and we should be working to dismantle them, not pointing out people who fit in their mold because that just signals support.

Whatever you think you said or were trying to say, that's not what you said. Twice, now. I quoted your words and there is no other valid interpretation of your sentences that implies that.
