Me thinks thou lacks imagination, vision, empathy or the ability to even begin to try to comprehend. I could write volumes of minutiae detailing what I think needs to be done and how to implement it. I am not the one to do that. I am only one person, one voice and one mind. But I have lived with, worked with and served with people of many different backgrounds, colors, faiths, so, although I don' t have and can't have all the answers, I can say that I have seen discrimination and reverse discrimination and witnessed the effects of unequal opportunity. I'm pretty sure you have too, but did you recognize it?
In my humble opinion, some things have changed for the better. Still, there exists bias based on race, religion, gender, culture. Again, I have seen it and felt it. Perhaps you never have.
The leaders of our country, elected, appointed, of various faiths that can understand the many problems in our nation need to sit down calmly and peacefully begin to address this issue of bias that, deep down, affects us all, whether we know it or not.
When you ask questions like, "such as what exactly", I ask myself if you really want an answer, or is that an attempt at a put down.
We all have opinions based on our teaching, at home, in church or synagogue, in school, the work place, etc. Everyone's opinion is valid based on their life experience. That said, we cannot actually walk in another's shoes, but we can at least try to imagine what it might be like before we just brush off other opinions.
Keep talking. Keep searching. Keep learning. Keep an open mind.
Stay safe. Stay healthy. Peace!
