Of course thing's haven't been "made right" (reparations?). They never will be. You simply cannot correct such a large and complex past injustice. By the time you're done sorting through all the details to a reasonable standard, everyone who was around when the reparations process started would have already passed away, and doing this kind of thing sloppily is a recipe for disaster.
The only way forward is to correct current injustices and level the playing field on which people compete today (i.e. the rationale behind affirmative action). I do think the focus should be on class rather than race; the two are highly correlated but not the same. Nothing in the SCOTUS decision seems to prohibit affirmative action based on class, so I actually think this ruling could turn out less impactful than many seem to fear or hope.
