Description of End Societal Racism: 
First of all racism is alive and well, and although it may be hard to prove that a single individual or police officer is racist (no one wants to be racist), we need laws on the books that can take action on the factual discrepancies of the black population of america in relationship to the black population in prison.  It is statistically significant that there is a 34.9% black population in prison and only 12-13% of the US population is black.  That is almost 3 times more!  At the same time there is no statistical or factual evidence that shows that black people commit any more crimes than white people, just that they are different types of crimes, and that black people get longer/harsher sentences that keep them in prison longer.  Additionally crime has been going down, yet prison populations are still increasing.  Currently there are primarily laws on the books that criminalize racism towards individuals primarily by individuals, but again this is very hard to prove on an individual level.  We need laws on the books that make it illegal for our entire social systems to have intrinsic racist processes functioning within them.  This will take work and unity, but together we can re-create our political systems to work for the people, all people.  Because race is based on perception, it is also a superficial issue, although a deeper level, and this will only help solve our problems, but will not be the deciding factor. Even if we took the hard and difficult routs to change laws in a few places, we will still find ourselves loosing on an individual case by case level.  Again, on a deeper surface level, this is corruption, because the system is not treating all people equally.
