Racial tensions being higher doesn’t necessarily mean that we have the wrong answers. Certainly racial tensions went up in the lead up to the civil war. They also went up during the civil rights movement

Civil War -> end of slavery

Civil rights movement -> equality under the law of all Americans (with later protections under affirmative action actually giving minorities a modest advantage in some situtions)

What hoped for outcome is being sought now? "Give me money because things aren't fair" isn't a change in law or status, it's grievance politics that has no logical end.

Disparate outcomes aren't proof of social injustice; disparate outcomes are proof of disparate behavior.

I don't follow why you are being downvoted because reparations in the form of money paid out will likely never quell the demand for more reparations.
