What is ‘systemic or institutional racism’? How did you feel about the social protests that began last year and do you think they have adequately highlighted police brutality against people of color and racial discrimination across the United States and abroad?

What are your thoughts about non-violent versus violent protests and actions? Do you think this is necessary, unnecessary, or a combination of both? What are your thoughts on property damage, including such actions as taking down confederate statues and the like?

Do you think the protests have/will change racist policies and do you believe systemic racism will decrease as a result of such social protests? What can/should, if anything, be done next?
