The notion here is discrimination based on the skin colour, specifically of black people in the US. This notion was previously expressed through slavery, and people think that it's ended, but this is not the case: black people are still opressed, socially and economically. This is unfair and cruel, therefore, it has to change. The long term result would be a full integration of black people into the society.
