Racism is an intricate problem that is deeply embedded in our society and culture, and it can not be solved by simply resolving the symptoms. To really resolve racism, we should look at the underlying causes and work to dismantle the systems and structures that perpetuate racism. We should likewise work to create a more inclusive and equitable society that values diversity and appreciates the rights of all people. Just then can we really begin to address racism and its results.
