What you're really talking about is compensation for any black person, without regard for income or education. I've already mentioned several problems with that. But in a way I'm surprised that you're advocating it. It really works against both the intent and the rationale for compensation.

If we allow compensation to well-off or better educated blacks, they will always get the lion's share. The best qualified blacks will be hired or admitted to colleges. But that leaves the people most harmed by discrimination out in the cold. Isn't that just the opposite of what you want?


Reference: Alan Goldman makes this argument. See Justice and Reverse Discrimination, p. 90-93.
