Looks to me like the more you use the word "racism", the farther from the solution you get. Not because it's not there, but because the word simply prompts mental models that are very entrenched and it's unlikely they'll lead to much change. Trying to go for approaches that reframe the problems might be more productive. One point to take from this article is that there are interest groups that will lose power from any meaningful reform. Saying they're "white" is... just the same as usual. Saying that chief among them is quite likely the top management of law enforcement institutions is a lot more conductive to new solutions. And so on.
