40 acres and a mule is an approach to segregation. A monetary award is not going to do what Blacks think it will do. There is no reason to believe that under the contemporary unsegregated conditions that Blacks will enjoy long term prosperity.40 Acres and a Mule Would Be at Least $6.4 Trillion Today—What the U.S. Really Owes Black America
I would like to give Black Americans a couple of states. I am thinking Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Only Black people will be allowed to vote in these states. There will be several states that only whites will be allowed to vote. There will be state(s) that only Hispanics will be allowed to vote. And then there will be state(s) that only Asians will be allowed to vote. And then there will be a few secular-plural states that are infinitely tolerant of race.
Sound like a good starting point? It is all negotiable - nothing is set in stone. There are a lot of other things to figure out, such as organizing government - there is no sense in Blacks using the government model designed by racist slave owners.
I think that desegregation has not benefited Blacks as well as it was thought intended. The modern Black Americans have far more ability to do community and state, then what the Blacks could do in the Jim Crow era of segregation.
