Black people died fighting in the war too. You can't say you've paid something if the person/people you are paying have to pay too.
The idea that whites should compensate blacks is erroneous, as in America there were white slaves and black slave owners, not to mention that not all black Americans today are descended from plantation slaves.
Anyway, you could say that the point of the meme is that reparations were paid by free men, both white and black, who purchased with their own lives the liberty of those who at that time were still enslaved.
