Well then I say give them 40 acres and mule. And if they want to modernize that, give them 40 ouncers and a mule.

There probably aren't enough mules in the US to give every black family a mule. And if they live in a city, where are they going to keep the mule? Maybe they can be given an alternative of a Cadillac if they don't want the mule. Of course Caddys aren't much good for pulling plows.

Maybe they should start with a study of whether black NBA and NFL players are being adequately compensated compared to their white, Hispanic, Asian-American or Native American teammates. It should be easy enough to juggle the figures to show they have been victims of discrimination.
