Let's be honest with ourselves. We can pretend that racism no longer exists institutionally, but it does. There is no way racism couldn't exist under any system of government. Racism is necessary for government to operate. So we must first evaluate how America is and can still be racist today. And then we must look at how to solve these problems. We must also defined what racism is not.
What racism is not
* High unemployment rates for minority groups
*Lack of school access
* lack of public education
* Police brutality
* Gang members and drug activities
What racism actually is
* Government controlled monopoly of the money supply. This means that anti poverty strategies can't work. There could never be a legitimate rise in black owned business, because the government can arbitarily cut off loans
* Large business regulation. As black owned businesses are smaller than white owned businesses, black business owners are likely to be crucified by government regulations and taxes
* The Drug War and drug laws. Again, government and economic intervention has allowed the government to go after black drug dealers. Yet despite white groups doing more drugs, the police presence is a lot less visible.
* Affirmative Action. This actually lowers employer confidence in black people's abilities to prefer high skilled work. Reinforcing the ideas of black intellectual inferiority.
* Black leadership and collectivism. As long as black leaders speak for the black population, then this means that black people cannot conciously be viewed individually.
How do we fix the issue?
* Ban all economic protectionism. As long as there is an idea of protectionism, then people will use government to manipulate the market.
* Full free market. Let's take off the kid gloves. If black people are inferior, let's prove it on the battlefield. With no economic protectionism, no one can use the government as an advantage. So only the strong should come out ahead.
* The philosophy of "winning at a disadvantage". Economics is a numbers game at the end of the day. With government out of the way, the game of economics will be balanced. And with that, black people can still win even at a significant disadvantage.
* Allow competition of currency. This will allowed non-government controlled currencies to enter the market. And this will allow black people to find a source of funding and capital for their ventures.
Racism is a belief that one "race" is superior to another, not the items you mentioned above.
Racism exists because people are racist. Government is run by people. If the people who run the government are racist, then government will be racist.
Businesses are run by people (i.e. hiring). If the people who run the businesses are racist then the business is racist.
I find you "racism is not" list particularly interesting being that some of them actually are attached to the definition of racism:
*high unemployemnt rates for minority groups is based on above - people working at businesses. It is indicative of the racist beliefs of hiring managers in regards to the types of work or education of minority groups
*lack of school access, don't know what that means. Everyone has access to school so don't get the reference here
*lack of public education??? As stated above, everyone has access to school and especially so to public schools
*police brutality, similar to businesses in that people who work for the police who are racist will bring their racist beliefs with them to the force and treat minority populations in a disparate way
*gang members/drug activites, all demographics in the United States are involved in both
Your "racism is" list doesn't make much sense IMO because all of those go back to the people involved.
Even if we implemented all of your "fix" strategies, people would still be racist.

How will all of this fix the hatred that many black people have for LGBTQIAQERTY? How will all of your "fixes" make it that some black people will not hate Jews anymore? Will these fixes make it so some black people do not hate Orientals as well?
I believe racism is rampant in America. The government is racist against the entire human race. (Except of course the Banking elites and their friends) And you have at least identified that the government which is owned by these families is the source of it being anti-human race. However the "government" could maximize human freedom for all individuals if it ousted the Banking Families and served only as a retaliatory force against those who initiate force. But then the thugs that run rampant throughout our society would have to abandon their collectivist/statist ideologies that require widespread aggression towards their fellow man through government force...

Wondering.
You can't end hatred. And if black people hate those other groups it's unimportant overall. Same as other groups who hate black people. Racism only matters when once can impose their racist ideas via the state. You can't tell people who they can and can't hate. But I think there would be a lot less hatred if the government didn't exist.

Not ending all government, but ending the vast laws and regulations that have taken all liberty from the people. Now only government getting to decide for the people. We no longer have a choice. To the point, we can no longer not consent, take it or leave it. It is forced upon us and more taxes needed to pay for it are taken at will. In bondage to government is not fun.

The goal isn't to stop people from being racist. The goal is to stop people from abusing the government to inact their racist ideas. There is a very clear difference.

Racism exists because we have a law that says all minority are inferior and we must use Affirmative Actions to "help" the inferior.

Racism will end when everybody in the planets is mixed. I believe this is already happening. Nordic women love dark men.
Our own government promotes that the minorities cannot make it in life without them. Then government calls them a victim of their own identity constantly, telling them over an over they are less than a white man over and over.
They have laws and legislation the promotes and perpetuates the divisions in society. Without trouble & conflict government themselves create, we would not need government in the first place.
