Project to estimate cost to black Americans

A project has tried to estimate the cost to black Americans in Fulton County, Georgia, of various racist laws and government practices, including slavery and Jim Crow, and sometimes having the KKK drive blacks off their land to take it away from them. It also includes the wages they would normally have been paid for work that they were forced to do. It amounts to a a large sum in today's money, though the article does not estimate an overall total. The project aims ultimately to determine a just quantity of reparations to give to descendants of those who were robbed and cheated. I am interested in seeing the results. How to give a disprivileged group's members effective aid to surmount the inherited effects of being disprivileged is not obvious. The article linked to above displays symbolic bigotry by capitalizing "black" but not "white". (To avoid endorsing bigotry, capitalize both words or neither one.) I denounce bigotry, and normally I will not link to articles that practice it. But I make exceptions for some articles, such as this one, because they are important. I want to help the article educate people about racism. At the same time I want to rebuke its bigotry — so I present this comment about it.
