My friend I do understand. I witness what you are describing daily. In the name of not being racist people do/say racist things. I promise you one thing tho, dont stop. Keep being the example. Whatever lessons you had that let you become the person you are today, teach them to others. Dont shy away from it.
When you look at any community or any group of people there will be a problem person. The old saying I always drop is "You can gather 100 of the same people, whatever job, race, gender, etc and at least one will be an asshole" When you get people to realize its not their skin, its not their gender, its not their job, etc it is their actions. Light bulbs turn on. This is the most success I have had with this topic and I think I have helped others.
In the city I work at there have been changes. I have had people attack me or not believe me. I talk to those who will listen. The community I work in finally decided on changing the states attorney. Still a democrat unfortunately but it was a baby step in the right direction. They actually have an attorney that is not backing down and making criminals who rob and shoot get more time.
Dont give up. Treat people as you want to be treated and take responsibility for your actions. God bless and God speed on your assistance in waking people up.

Thank you for your kind words.
I won't stop for sure. I just changed my strategy a little.
The accountability thing works once I admit the system is a major part of the problem.
