I don't think anything would be truly sufficient. The damage has been done too well.

Any money the government can pay won't solve it. Maybe a true interest in the welfare of black people by the government might help. For one thing, it could stop its discriminatory practices. They could at least fund more programs that would help black people out.

But how can you undo the psychological damage made? There's nothing the government can really do about that. Changing mentalities.
