The first rule of business is that it happens whenever there is a market for something. Don't count someone out if they're making bank buying/reselling action figures, pokemon cards, whatever it is. It doesn't always have to be sneakers, but sneakers is def a good place to start
At the heart, racism is saying, "I am better and you are less." It's only a symptom of the real problem - sin. So you can change laws, you can change police officers, but there will always be sin in our hearts and a desire to break the law apart from the solution found in Christ.

"You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon; or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to."
God isn't surprised by the sin in our lives, He is aware of our struggle with sin. So, don't hold back things from Him due to shame. God's love for us is greater than the sin in us.
Talking about the emotions floating in our head is healthy, but we gotta learn when & where to have them, & who to have them with. Be healthy. Don't feel shame for what you're feeling. Be open with the right people, but please be open. You're not meant to do life alone.
IM WAKING UP!! - now is def not the time to be asleep. Grinding, moving forward with the compass that points to Christ, even without the destination in sight.
