What, exactly, would be fixed? Pick a number--$20,000? $100,000? $200,000? And then just have Uncle Sam write the checks. Of course, we'd need to further parse society, separate those black Americans who are actually connected, somehow (unlike Barry and Eric Holder) to the USA's history of slavery and racism from the dude who's family came to the country in, say, 1985.
But let's assume it can be done. Snap a line on the melanin scale and just write the checks.

1) It's obvious, from your answer, you didn't read it - that's speaking in bad faith.
2) What kind of racist mindset makes you think blacks can't handle money? Wasn't it whites who just sank the economy? Hasn't it been whites who needed slaves because whites wouldn't work?
