Would you say we, as a country, have done enough to help black ppl up to this point? Considering our history?

I don't live in your country & do not have a well-informed enough knowledge of what is being done.

Start here, Helen. And let me know if you still have the calm, reasonable take on measuring progress after.https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/06/the-case-for-reparations/361631/ …

If I am less calm and reasonable after reading it, will this put me in a better position to tackle racial discrimination more effectively?

Hopefully, it will give u some insight into current & historical conditions pertinent to conversation at hand. Being angry at a bad thing.

But remember, the conversation wasn't about whether we should be angry at bad things but whether it helps to evaluate levels of oppression

Is ur feeling that doing anything other than being angry at bad things is evidence of not caring about bad things & therefore morally wrong?

Everybody has feelings about things, Helen. Stop trying to make this an argument about your intellect and my emotions.

Without actually saying anything! I've accepted you don't want to look at things this way so lets just stop.
