You really think explaining to someone how we became who we are from the slave trade will receive admiration or settle the race issue? This will never be a dropped issue, regardless of how many statues you pull down/deface or history you try to 'explain'.
The whole BLM movement in itself was inherently racist. To fight inequality it should benefit all races. Empowering one race does not bring about equality, it drives a huge wedge right through the middle. I've seen the argument "but today we are talking about black lives..."... the last time I looked, there was more than just black people in this world who are still currently oppressed or persecuted because of their race, religion or culture.
I can already see signs of racism being acceptable if its against white people.
