Children are taught.
Teach them to love everyone.
Done deal.

I have a black friend that's well educated and works at a university. We had a long talk a while back about "the talk" that his father gave him. It amounted to "it's a white man's world son, and you have to go along to get along". Apparently it's not an unusual thing.
White people, however, just aren't aware that black parents have been having to have "the talk" with their kids.
Things like endless protests over nothing, the instant victim card, and the ever popular race card played the instant any opinionated friction is detected, would seem to indicate "the talk" goes in one ear and right out the other with a lot of this generation...

This.
Of course, if black parents had really been having "the talk" with their kids, don't you think there would be fewer unwed black mothers?
I mean, that was the purpose of "the talk" my parents had with me.

Hardly, there are more cannibals than there are incidents of racists running over people.
Sorry the facts don't match your narrative.

Sooner or later, we all have to move on and the best way I can see for this to happen is for us all to stop teaching our kids to be suspicious based on skin color.

70% of black children being born to unwed mothers is neither bigoted nor prejudiced. It's fact.

So you're going to start using "statistics" to distract from the fact you made a smarmy comment about "the talk" black parents have with their children regarding racism in America, and turn it into something about sex-ed/birth control and unwed black mothers?
That's a dog whistle, plain and simple.
