I don't accept that excuse for reparations.
Anyone that has a valid claim for reparations, is dead already. Nobody alive today was an American slave, and everyone alive today benefits from the past. Not just white people.
Nobody owes anyone anything based on pigmentation alone.

One of the arguments for reparations is the idea that the United states benefited greatly in the form of all that free labor in the form of slavery for a literal century or so.
You see this also some management practices where management tries to lock and trap people into a low wage working situation, the "company town" for example.
Thus there are advantages, but usually only for the people in control.
