The unjustifiable death of George Floyd at the hands of a white police officer in Minneapolis has caused mass demonstrations around the country. Much of the focus is properly on how to prevent such outrageous police misconduct and whether the role of the police needs to be restructured.

We suggest much of the focus also should be on the root cause of the race problem in American Society. When we turn our focus there, police misconduct is more of a symptom than a cause. If we are going to solve the problem of race in our society, we must strive for the integration of the races throughout all aspects of society—in housing, in schools, and in work.
