一般而言，赔偿计划旨在实现三个目标：承认严重的不公正，纠正不公正，以及结束遭受不公正的群体的不满。三种类型的不公正促使美国黑人的赔偿计划：奴隶制，重建后长达近一个世纪的吉姆克劳政权，以及持续的歧视。代表美国黑人的赔偿计划的启动最好是通过联邦一级的立法行动进行，而不是通过司法法令。该条涉及的逻辑问题包括确定赔偿法案的规模以及用于确定有资格获得赔偿者的标准。40英亩土地和一头骡子的当前价值可以为计算欠美国黑人的赔偿数额提供基础。
In general, a program of reparations is intended to achieve three objectives: acknowledgment of a grievous injustice, redress for the injustice, and closure of the grievances held by the group subjected to the injustice. Three types of injustices motivate a program of reparations for black Americans: slavery, the nearly century-long Jim Crow regime following Reconstruction, and ongoing discrimination. Inauguration of a reparations program on behalf of black Americans preferably will be undertaken via legislative action at the federal level, rather than by judicial fiat. Logistical issues addressed in the article include determination of the magnitude of the reparations bill and the criteria to be used to identify those eligible to receive reparations. The present day value of 40 acres and a mule can provide the foundation for the calculation of the magnitude of reparations owed to black Americans.
