I think people of (relatively more recent) African heritage should form a new political party. I think it should be open to (all) others for membership, but with the understanding that every leadership position in the party would forever be in the hands of descendants of slaves and their geographical kin. The party could wield influence as a solid political block.

I would suggest, for an economic program, promoting the institution of a “democratically distributed income.” It would make the existing economy self-regulating and more sustainable while providing the means to eliminate, absolutely and positively, unemployment (at no cost to anyone), poverty (without having to redistribute anything), taxes (of all kinds), and public debt (at every level of government) with still no limit on income/wealth.

There is no punishment for the ‘rich’ — but, hey, there are rich people of more recent African heritage, too. Also, though nothing would be taken from anyone, poor people would benefit relatively more than rich people would. In fact, the poorer a person was, the greater the relative benefit would be. An added benefit to descendants of slaves could easily be fit into that paradigm.

Once that income was implemented and people saw what it was like to live in a nation with such an economy, if people of more recent African heritage had led the way they would be more likely to be revered than reviled.
