The best way for people to understand racism is to teach them about it early on. Most racism comes from a family's home life so if it was taught in school there is potential that ones mindset could be changed,

Children who have only seen one part of the world yet to explore other ideas and places should not be accountable for the crimes of those of their descent.

Literally no one is actually teaching that kids are responsible or accountable for the crimes of their ancestors; that is entirely a made-up idea meant to stifle the teaching of basic US history in schools.

Yeah, the point is that systemic racism still exists as a whole, and that we’ve made progress but aren’t at the point where we’ve reached equality. So many times I’ve heard people cite MLK as a staple figure against things like affirmative action or trying to protect minorities, which is just hilariously far from what MLK actually believed. The guy himself said that we needed to either reform or dismantle institutions that are fundamentally racist, and that capitalism had seen its best days but needed to be dismantled. This was in the 60s and we haven’t reached that point.
