Government discrimination based on race is what fosters and promotes racism in its citizens. Once government stops discriminating, and people are allowed to discriminate, the needs to discriminate will fade over time.

Just as Italians and the Irish eventually became integrated into American society, so shall every racial group if the government gets out of the way and stops discriminating. It is impossible to believe in special protections for minorities AND equal protection under the law for all. Those are mutually exclusive concepts.

We need to end de jure discrimination based on race like we should have done back in 1964.

THIS!

Until we as a country and government basically pretend racism doesn't exist (except in the most clearly obvious cases), racism will continue to fester. It is the cry of racism at every turn that perpetuates racism. It will die out on its own given time if the flames are not fanned by the "anti-racist" crowd.
