I grew up in South Africa from 87-92, I have lived in Detroit since 2011. In terms of this being an impossible situation, I think truth and reconciliation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth_and_reconciliation_commi...) might be one way of addressing the racial segregation that persists here. (https://demographics.virginia.edu/DotMap/index.html). At the very least I was surprised and glad to see a comment about the racism that the article elucidates at the top here on HN.
