well personally, Americans have the problem. Only Americans can fix it and a majority of those very same Americans mentioned DO NOT WANT to see an end to racism or are too stupid to see how racism is used by powerful people to keep us divided. Which these days have proved to be an exceedingly easy goal by giving us tools to be actively racist and ALWAYS having to actively respond as a target of the very same racism. The stupid and ignorant citizens by and large choose to remain that way. So be it. Generations of them have kept hate and fear as their tools to justify the segregation and killing of POC, African-americans, specifically. This society has always seemed fit to perpetuate hate based on superficial criteria and false claims of superiority. This must end IF we want to heal as a nation from the grievous tears the body politic has sustained.
