To the extent that you hear more about reparations in the context of the US, a few explanations seem likely

1) you are an American and largely surrounded by American voices, as opposed to those whose ancestors were victims of European powers
2) The US has a much larger black population than any European country; the examples I linked above come from Caribbean nations, rather than those living in Europe who have a democratic say in how it operates.

Get the narrative right. The narrative is, we're allowed to talk nothing but bad about ourselves because we're supposedly all riddled with liberal guilt. It's bullshit, of course; but then, dumb and ignorant generalizations usually are.
