This was Martin Luther King's idea: "Skin color is as irrelevant as eye and hair color." I think that's a good idea and it has the advantage of being true.
Biologists who know more about evolution than anyone else would agree with Martin Luther King. We don't care what color a cow is. The same thing should be true about human skin color. It's doesn't matter.
Violence in Charlottesville exposes nation's divisions
Rally supporters and counter-protesters threw punches, hurled water bottles and unleashed chemical sprays. Men dressed in militia uniforms were carrying shields and long guns.
Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe declared a state of emergency. Police in riot gear ordered people out. Helicopters circled overhead.

Evolution explains why skin color doesn't matter. Please see these two links:
Modern Human Diversity - Skin Color
The Biology of Skin Color: Black and White
"Why do people from different parts of the world have different colored skin? Why do people from the tropics generally have darker skin color that those who live in colder climates? Variations in human skin color are adaptive traits that correlate closely with geography and the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation."
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne

In America we recently had an African American president who got the job thanks to the millions of white people who voted for him. But still for some reason we occasionally have some violence because of racism. Martin Luther King could fix the problem if he was still alive today.
