I hear ya....however I'll ask this.
What does the complete defeat of white supremacy look like to you? It sounds like an inane question but it may not be the same definition or meaning to you as it does to me, or others. If you asked any black person or even white southerner pre-civil rights, before say..1955...what would it take to completely end Jim Crow, segregation, blacks voting openly and freely in the south, I would suggest both would say the complete end of racism in the south. If you really look at how entrenched it was, you would think it would be impossible for it to end without somehow whites completely accept blacks, no question. But as we saw it, all that ended and white southerners were still racist AF. Same with the ending of slavery a hundred years prior.
Its possible for Blacks to get reparations and white people still racist AF, still practice white supremacy. White supremacy was openly conducted prior to Civil Rights. Afterwards, it was still conducted but it had to change and be far more subtle. I don't think its beyond the realm of possibility for FBAs to get reparations and white supremacy stil practiced but it changed to fit the new reality. Just like it did after slavery. Just like it did after Civil Rights.
150 years ago, you could be openly anti-semitic. No one canceled, many would agree with you. As recent as the 1930s Henry Ford bought a newspaper, the Dearborn Independent where he openly talked about Jewish conspiracies. He was still America's hero.
Ford lent authority to the anti-Semitic fears and assumptions of many Americans.

Charles Lindbergh the famous aviator openly supported Germany in the 1930s and openly talked about Jews.
The famous aviator blamed Jews, British, and the Roosevelt administration as war agitators.

But even till today both are written about in American history books as heroes. As early as the 1960s there was an unofficial 'Jewish quota' at Harvard and other Ivy league schools.
Harvard's Jewish Problem Jews have 'made it'. By any standard. At one time, maybe still are, they were 48% of all American billionaires and only maybe 1% or so of the overall population. They are well over-represented in power at pretty much every institution. You say anything that sniffs of anti-semitism these days and you are canceled. The Israeli lobby is by far the most powerful lobby in Congress.
Is there still anti-semitism? Has it gone away? Synagogues still get shot up.
So again, is it a stretch that reparations can come for FBAs and still have white supremacy but it changes its tactics? I fully understand the frustrations. I would suggest there are a number of ways to get things for Blacks in America, justice for all of us, reparations for FBA, etc, but just like the Jews, just like the Irish, and just like other groups who were maligned (but obviously no where close to us), we can insulate ourselves as best we can.
I personally think reparations is very, very doable. I think the road from here to getting a check is much easier than the road the Civil Rights activists had. They had zero power in institutions. None. These days we have far more people in institutions and the strategy is in part, us getting rid of the blacks there who aren't 10 toes down. Politicians won't get us reparations. Black politicians alone who are 10 toes down won't get reparations and justice. It's one weapon among many. We need 10 toes down brothers and sisters in as many institutions as possible. Just like the Jews. Just like the Irish. DAs, billionaires in business, heads of media, etc.
We gotta start internally and 'purge' the coons, sell outs, and those frontin' like they are down but aren't (Sharpton, etc.). We get a decent percentage of Blacks talking the right thing and supporting it, its a shorter road. We don't even need more than 50%. In the beginning of the Civil Rights movement not only did blacks outside the south think MLK Jr was crazy for doing it. A fairly decent percent of southern blacks thought it was too crazy.
Finally, we can all disagree on ways to get there, and hold strong beliefs that other means, thinking is the wrong route, but we all agree on the end game. Its just how we get there that's in debate.
