I don’t think I am really qualified to answer that adequately. The simple answer is people need to stop being racist and start being anti-racist, but that’s a multi-generational project to transform culture and not something that can really be imposed via political will alone. The obvious answer is replace the system, but again there’s the issue of this being the real world so the path to a new system is very messy and potentially involves another civil war given how re-entrenched the forces of racism have become. I’d like to think systemic reform is still possible but realistically Trumpism must be resolved first before reform could ever happen, and there’s a lot of serious issues arising from wealth concentration that potentially have to be dealt with too (i.e. even without Trumpism, we still have a bunch of ultrawealthy racists wielding their money to manipulate society).

So how do you suggest people move through and beyond systemic racism?
