The systemic issue in this country is the insistence of some to see themselves as superior to others. Until that is resolved, you will have racism. The issue of needless killings by police must be addressed and resolved. Cities must be much more thorough in checking the backgrounds of the people they hire to serve and protect. 90% of our police forces are good men and women with spotless backgrounds. They serve our communities proudly and well. The 10% who are brutal, licensed killers, must be weeded out with in depth background checks. Forget color, forget nationality, forget religion, forget who people choose to love!! We all breath the same air, bleed the same way, put our clothes on the same way, go to the bathroom the same way. Once that is accepted, racism will disappear.

I agree with you. However, we should also note that a lot of young police officers of all shades and ethnicities start off with great intentions, ready to make a difference. Then they get assigned to a neighborhood where they see criminal behavior all around them and are cursed, lied to, shown disrespect, attacked. Soon, some of those with good intentions will change their minds and learn to hate. It’s a very difficult situation.
