It will take a long time, generations, to fix this. I remember the 1981 race riots in London.

There was a public inquiry afterwards that led to the creation of a Police Complaints Commission. But that was largely ineffective for at least 20 years afterwards.
Ultimately I think integration and education are the only solution. My parents didn't meet a non-white person until they were in their late 20s. At my school there were a few black families. At my kids school there was a lot of diversity; and differences in race, sexuality and religion seem to be "old people's problems" to them now.
The Black Panther party had significant leadership and unification, social programs like food, educational programs, etc. They were killed. Bombed in fact. Prominent leaders were shot in their beds by the government.
Black Wall Street existed, utterly peacefully in fact, and they were utterly destroyed by white riots.
The black community has tried repeatedly to address things and in every turn they were beaten back down.
What do you recommend?
