But your analogies are to organized bodies that are recognized in law, in tradition, and in the minds of both their own members and outsiders. Everyone thinks of states, corporations, and Indian tribes as in some sense organized groups with members, leaders, rules, liabilities, and so on.

Black Americans aren't organized like that. They have had some common problems, and they have political organizations, but they don't all belong to a formalized corporate body.

Reference: For an analysis of the moral status of groups that will not lend support to a policy of compensation to blacks as a group, see Alan Goldman's article in Feminism and Philosophy.
