We need to ensure that these demonstrations turn into permanent policy changes that can protect black and brown people from police violence and racism.

And black people, too, view the racial problem as black people, as opposed to racist power and policy.

I think the most concrete step people can take is to recognize that there are only two explanations for any sort of racial disparity: either a racist idea or a racial policy.

It’s either because there’s something wrong with black people, which is a racist idea, or there’s something wrong with our society, which are racist policies.

And then, if they say it’s because there’s something wrong with black people, they’re saying their racist ideas.
