We already got there before you. San Francisco did this years ago (with the conclusion that every black person in the city is owed $11 million-- an aggregate sum that is 10 times the city's entire annual budget and would result in immediate municipal bankruptcy if implemented), and the state is currently funding a study of its own to determine what fantastical amount needs to be doled out to every slave descendant in a state that never had legalized slavery to begin with. I'd say you have a long way to go to catch up to our lunacy.
