For starters, how about a state sponsored apology for slavery? The literal Trillions the nation profited from the practice, and the admittance that prejudice is literally woven into the constitution by slaveholding white men, and a nation that takes the words and the protector of these words(police) as gospel?
How about looking at blacks plight in America as an AMERICAN issue, not a black one. 30-40% of women were incarcerated at one point in their life would it not be considered an American issue? Representation, education, and monetary success are not solutions, they are simply supplements. The change has to come from the same system that supports the oppression. Racism will never die, but this state sanctioned racism has to.
