Racism, especially systemic racism is a worn out crutch. You cannot mandate an "opinion." You can only mandate ones actions and treatment of others. No one can outlaw prejudice, or bigotry. Laws only mandate equal treatment regardless of ethnicity. I have known several racists that were/are great people and treat minorities as if they were colorblind. These same people would risk their lives for those same people and they treat all people with equal kindness. Being prejudice does not make a person a bad person. Treatment of people badly makes bad people. You will never rid the world of prejudice. Protesting and demonstrations only serve to change the laws or how laws are enforced, not change people's minds. You do not garner support by destroying property and assaulting people that don't agree with you. If one wants to erase racism, you must gain the respect of those that are prejudice against you. Motivation, hard work and kindness will gain you respect.
