Racial tension, racially related cruelty, racially inspired violence "must end" shouts millions of protestors during May and June 2020. White-skinned Americans need to listen to the realities of cruelty facing dark-skinned American.

Since May 25, 2020, marches and riots occupy cities across USA, some peaceful, others violent and destructive.

It needs to reshape its social structures until humane respect is uniform across skin color. How do we help this movement however without destroying what good exists in the businesses and homes of ordinary well-meaning people? How do white people help? How does media need to help.  How do v
