  If I shouldn’t bare the sins of my father, why should I bare his fruits?
  
  This is like saying “if I don’t drink poison, why should I drink water?”
  You drink it because it’s good for you, and you make the choice to accept things that are good for you.
  There are many reasons to be for or against reparations. There are also many reasons to be for or against inheritance of wealth. They are not, however, related.
  In an inheritance, the wealth is usually transferred between people in the same family, who know each other, and who both want the wealth transfer to take place. That is not the case for reparations.
  Again, anyone can be for or against either of them, but there is no reason to say that if you are against one, you have to be against the other.
context: Inheritance doesn't imply I deserve anything from my parents, it implies my parents have the right to do what they want with their money including but not limited to giving it to me. >

  When I mention inheritance, I’m talking about it from the perspective of the person who receives it, he or she should be rejecting it if they are morally consistent with the “past is the past” or “why should I have to pay for crimes that people before me committed?” Rhetoric. >
  
  People generally are not opposed to voluntary donations.  "Why should I have to pay?" and "What is wrong with me deciding to pay?" are differnt questions.
