First of all I see the wrong definition of racism. This is why racism continues. Because it is not defined correctly. Racism is group based, it is the competition for the wealth and the resources on earth and as a group acquires enough wealth and power they use that power to injure and hurt another group.
Racism is not necessarily hate, people participate in racist practices through micro-insults, micro-aggression and micro-assaults everyday and don't know they are doing it. They don't hate they are naive to such things because certain things in American society have been normalized.
People are prejudice about a lot of things. I like bow ties over ties but I won't lynch anybody or injure anybody to have them. It's just my prejudice about the ties I like.
Racism is fear based. People who knowingly participate in racism carry a xenophobia and are afraid of people that don't look like them.
In 1860 right before the civil war whites owned 99.75% of the wealth, in 2009 whites on 99.75% of the wealth in America. Whites own all the power in America, that is why the remaining Africans from slavery cannot be racist because they don't own anything to injure and hurt another group. You can find those remaining Africans being prejudice but they can't practice racism because they have no power in America.

The way you decrease racism is those groups who have been deprived or injured in society have become self reliant.
