The exact same way that it helps with everything else. The more people see that the majority oppose something the more it dies away. Racisim and homophobia are rooted in ignorance. So the answer is more education and public awareness
Right now there are lots of kids being raised in racists households. It is tough to get through to them. But the more they see that people they respect like pro athletes and owners oppose racism the more they will question what they are being taught in homes.
You have lived long enough to see the popular opinion change dramatically on issues of homosexuality and racism. What do you believe is behind the change? To me it really seems to all stem from more public awareness.
How will ignoring the problem fix anything?
