Strictly from a perception point of view, they need to get off the word "reparations" it doesn't poll well and is an instant loser with middle America. The other issue is they need to abandon any idea of cutting checks because that will simply fan racial tensions and that rhetoric will just be heated up during the campaign by Trump. If they want to go about this it needs to be through more assistance based programs and funneling of funds to predominantly African American areas to use to help improve the quality of life in those areas. While the funds will essentially be used to help the African American population it will be an easier pill to swallow for middle American than some idiot posting pictures of a check on social media and saying he is going to go by something with it and basically baiting others to fight with them.
My belief is that this single issue may sink the Democratic platform in 2020 if they don't go about it intelligently. They are trying to get a little too liberal and I think it will come back to bite them. You are in a prime position to steal some moderates, but if you go too far left you blow that up and this is one of those issues that could be a step too far.
