I agree, and I think there are solutions but it requires both an open mind and a scientific mind. For example, the alt-right harps on the idea of "race" and "IQ", when it's really about genetics and IQ. Race doesn't really exist, and the genes associated with intelligence have not been isolated. If it were isolated then we could solve the problem by simply activating these genes in everyone and still no need to believe in race.
Race in my opinion is just another divide and conquer. The reason I had a problem with the" apology from the white race" is that it requires I adopt the racial ideology to communicate on that level. I see individuals first and races second, and I don't necessarily wish to promote group identities unless there is a true mutual self interest or shared stake.
Race has power because so many people believe in it that they give it power. In particular, white Americans are the primary group who are giving race power, as the concept of race was invented by white people to fulfill a slavery agenda. The only solution is for white Americans to take the lead and no longer accept racial identity, and if enough people accept individual identities, this over time will win out because generally people can have a lot more freedom with individual identities than with collective identities.
