Unfortunately you can't just 'fix' something like that by handing out grants to people with dark skin.
Baring some large redistribution of wealth the most effective thing we can do is to remove all the barriers that we can and encourage improvement.
There are many people who are direct descendants of slaves who don't qualify for affirmative action and there are people who's families moved here in the 70s who do qualify.

That doesn't include trying to right racism and discrimination for 300 - 5000 years by doing the inverse.
