I think there are two basic steps that can be taken more seriously, in order to elevate the discourse on race, all-around:

1.) Acknowledge that racism can be systemic but also social and cultural. The systemic forms of racism are practiced specifically to oppress BIPOC and POC in genera; but, by contrast, the cultural and social forms of racism are multidirectional, and White people can be on the receiving end of them too.

NOT "prejudice"...

NOT "[']reverse[']-racism"...

ACTUAL racism (specifically, in social and cultural realms)

2.) Educate people on the role of implicit biases and subconscious/unconscious racism (so we can identify it, in order to dismantle white supremacy) -- but just because we identify those biases and passive prejudices, it doesn't make people "racist" by default, from the onset. I fear we are quickly reaching the point where, in order to be considered "antiracist," White people are expected to just blindly nod in agreement with everything Robin DiAngelo says.

So many "woke" White people seem to be in a virtual sprint to brand themselves (along with every White person around them) as "racist" in order to show performative solidarity. That approach ultimately harms the cause of racial justice more than it helps it.
