I see, yes, there is institutionalized racism. I'm sorry, you are correct.

This is the problem.
Instead of conversing in positive ways and trying to work on positive solutions, we (and the vast majority does) becomes defensive over their positions and refuses to even listen to the other side and admit maybe, just maybe the other side has some good points and we should work on them TOGETHER.
We are all guilty of it but until we are truly willing to do something about it on all sides, nothing except hate will continue. Not just race relations, but foreign policy, religion, anything that separates us, as a whole.
