What can we do about it?
Assimilate.
If you look aht history of other immigrant groups coming into the states, they are hated for a generation or so and then they assimilate adopting the language, dress, and basic cultural patterns of the parent culture.
African american youth Culture, which seems to be a hodgpodge of stuff, hasn't successfully assimilated in language, dress, or basic patterns.
I have heard there are reasons for this lol . . . but I'm sleepy. There are some books on it also . . .
But the lack of assimilation delays full acceptance.
Also, another comprison has to be made about how Blacs are treated in other countries. Are there the same problems?

Yes, but there are some immigrant groups who come here, but still maintain their way of dress (at least some of the time). However. they seem to be at least somewhat accepted. Take Indian women, for example. Many wear saris to work (sometimes, anyway), yet they seem to do well. Indian children do well in school and often get successful jobs. They are more "old country" than, say, Chinese immigrants.
