Racisim went away when governments passed laws (and began enforcing existing laws) to prevent discrimination based upon race (and lots of other protected classes). The racisim that remains is illegal behavior by a minority of individuals, except for the institutionalized racisim now being taught in public schools under the guise of Critical Race Theory, Equity (not Equality), etc.

This makes sense as long as you also believe that laws made the concepts of (for example) drug abuse, school shootings, and theft go away.
What method do you propose to eliminate these problems other than passing laws?
Those problems were obviously eliminated according to you. Drug use and school shootings are illegal, therefore they don’t happen.
You seem to be trolling me. Please read my posts above and tell me where I said they don't happen. Illegal behavior is a problem in every society and is not limited to racism. What is your solution?
If I’m trolling, why engage with me?

You said racism went away because of laws. Why was that eradicated by laws and not other criminal behavior?

I’ll give you my solution once you extrapolate on when and how (with specifics) laws solved racism! To clarify my question, what was the last day that racism was a problem before the hiatus? What day did it return as an issue?
