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

If I am, it wasn't stolen from blacks. Indians maybe, but they're not howling for reparations. And blacks are also living on "stolen and occupied land," so they have no moral high ground on that front.

(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.

Any infrastructure I use was built with either private money or paid for by my taxes. I'm paid up on those accounts.

No sale.
