I am feeling you completely.
Ah, shall we begin in the public school system that MISEDUCATES our children even in 2000...with BS like Columbus discovered America? Or Lincoln freed slaves for noble reasons? Oooh...my bad I did say solutions only.
Yes, one of the programs my Sorority has instituted is a geography and history institute which addresses these very concerns. My local chapter also sponsors an Archonette group that is based in Harlem at the Frederick Douglass Academy. We feel so strongly about our history that we supplied classes with African American History text books to make sure they were getting a balanced picture.
I personally would like to see more African American centered organizations make a more concerted effort in exposing our history...we were kings and queens and inventors...not merely thugs and thieves that are so selectively placed on the 5 o'clock news.

I think each individual race should educate themselves COMPLETELY not just some school house bs, about themselves. You have to know where YOU came from to even begin to understand someone else! People must try and learn how racism originated and came to be so strong in this world to begin with. Peopl must have self love! You must love every within your own race to direct love any where else! Then one must work on uplifting their own race and ending "same race racism" and then work on outside relations. Lastly, people have to actually stop thinking of themselves as superior and inferior and stop looking on to others as if they ar superior and inferior! If we can all those things working it might just work!
