The following articles provide insight (as well as rage) into how racist systems, when not totally disbanded and re-built with the community in mind, just evolve into a more covert form of status quo:

I find hope in the collective outrage of an oppressive institution (police), and I hope this energy starts to permeate all of our current institutions because we also have a planet to save.
