There's obviously tons of racism still in America, but the same people who say and do racist shit are also almost always pieces of shit in many other aspects of their lives, race is just another venue for them to express their shittiness.

We can't get rid of racism, we can't be thought police even if we wanted to. What we can do is ensure people in positions of power are qualified to be there and have proper training, oversight, and accountability. We can improve our school systems to not produce as many brain dead racists as past generations. We can all actually get out and vote for candidates who will actually fund lower income inner city education and social services, helping to lift up the disproportionately black population that live there (in large part due to America's racist history) and start a lasting positive shift.

A lot less exciting than just yelling about white people, but focusing on common enemies just seems like it'd get everyone a whole lot further than divisiveness. The problem is real and it is immensely serious, but it isn't a problem that can be magically solved any more than we can solve something like human greed or anger. If we reworked the systems that racism most often or most severely expresses itself through, everyone would benefit except those committing the injustices.
