Duke University professor William Darity spoke on a Tuesday episode of Dr. Phil about his plan to give reparations to the Black Americans that are descendants of slaves.
Darity, who co-authored the book, "From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the Twenty-First Century," made the case for such a program by offering some theories on how it would be accomplished.
"The first condition is that reparations should be paid to Black Americans whose ancestors were enslaved in the United States," he said. "The second is, how much should be paid? The amount should be dictated by the disparity in wealth between Black and White Americans, which at the current moment amounts to in excess of $840,000 per household."
