The Form of Compensation (Ann Speaking)

Your approach does have an advantage because it deals only with direct harm done to identifiable people. I support compensation to those indirectly harmed by discrimination, but I think I can still come to some reasonable conclusions about the proper form it should take.

The basic question is this: What have blacks as a group lost because of a long history of injustice? The answer is easy. All we have to do is to compare black and white statistics on wealth, income, savings, housing, infant mortality, life expectancy, political power, representation in the more prestigious and influential professional and managerial positions, and so on. The difference is what has been lost. And that's what should be made up.
