My problem isn't, and never has been, with the word "reparations". If reparations means that black Americans own the country to the extent that they constitute the country, I'm all for that. My problem is with reparations conceived as a historical debt to be paid.

We absolutely do not. The US collects demographic data through self report but doesn't verify it or use it to determine the provision of services. If it used self report data there would be no point, anyone could claim to be black. You have to verify for reparations to work.
