Labor my ancestors stole from slaves: $0.00
Value of slave labor to my ancestors: $0.00
Duration of time my ancestors resided in this country when slave labor was legal: 0 days, 0 weeks, 0 months, 0 years

Stolen labor X value of labor X duration = 0 X 0 X 0
= $0.00 TOTAL OWED IN REPARATIONS.

My ancestors were slaves. My other ancestors owned slaves. Hold on; I’ll write myself a check.

I’ve tried that argument before.
It’s a non-starter.
The typical response is twofold: (1) You’re living on stolen and occupied land, and (2) Any piece of infrastructure that was built by slaves, and which you use, be it a building or a road, etc, you are benefitting from, therefore you DO owe reparations.

blah blah blah
