The challenge is, how do you “end race” when people have been conditioned to view others through the lens of racial stereotypes?

A dark-skinned person can choose to stop identifying themselves as Black, but how does that stop OTHER people from perceiving them as Black and projecting negative ideas of what Blackness entails onto them?

Is it not first necessary to address and debunk the harmful myths and perceptions that fuel racism if we are ever to dismantle the construct of race entirely?
