There is actually only one way. Don't treat people differently because of the colour of their skin.
- It requires a lot more than that because black people are still overall systemically oppressed, to combat that requires a lot more than not treating people differently because of the colour of their skin.
  
  No, it doesn't. If they are not treated differently, they will no longer be oppressed. Otherwise they would continue to be treated differently.
Some of these are fairly understandable but most of them just seem to be fluff to go to number 100
Also, we don't even treat black people like this in turkey what's going on in America?
- Are there many black people in Turkey?
  
  Yea a lot even outside large cities like Istanbul Ankara and Izmir
  
  Interesting question. Turns out:
  Africans in Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye'deki Afrikalılar) are people of Sub-Saharan African descent who are citizens or residents of Turkey. They are immigrant and refugee communities mostly from western, central and eastern Africa. African immigrants are distinct to Afro-Turks [Turkish people of African Zanj descent, who trace their origin to the Ottoman slave trade like the Afro-Abkhazians], which number around 20,000. As of 2017, there are 1.5 million Africans living across Turkey, with one in four residing in Istanbul.

  That's out of:
  the country's population was 85,372,377 in 2023, excluding Syrians under temporary protection.
