Not unless some are coming my way from the English...I am Scottish\Irish.
Most of my family wasn't even over hear during the slavery era and the ones who were had members who fought and died for the Union. We've payed our dues in blood, you could say.
Reparations will not solve anything. How can someone be punished for something that happened over 100 years before they were born? Besides "reparations" sort of already exist in the form of Affirmative Action anyway.
