All of which is entirely relevant to the US government's culpability in slavery and Jim Crow.
I mean, it's as valid as talking about providing reparations to people for something that happened to someone else, and extracting those reparations from other people who had nothing to do with it either.

Not even slightly. The US Sovereign is by definition a non-individual, timeless entity. All sorts of appropriations and other actions are paid for by taxes from people who had "nothing to do" with whatever is being addressed. That's the very nature of a sovereign government.
