Well a start might be for the general messaging from every single mainstream media outlet and institution to change from "white people root cause" to "hey take responsibility for your own actions asshole".
I can imagine being a young black dude and hearing constantly from everyone how the country is racist and you'll always be held back and you basically have no agency to do anything to make a good life for yourself might make me more likely to say fuck it and become a professional criminal.
So ya know, maybe if the media stopped just lying constantly, every day, about essentially every story involving race, behaviors might change! It's just that, depressingly, dems *need* people to believe racism is worse than ever. It's their electoral bread and butter. They have a perverse incentive to ignore all the progress that has occurred and lie to young minorities about the nature of life in america, which to me is unconscionable.

Assuming I accept your assumption, how do you get media companies to do this? How do you fix it faster than within a single generation?
