'Racism' is a word of many meanings

Try a look at Dictionary dot com.

It covers such attitudes toward others on account of their race as mistrust, wariness, fear, resentment, annoyance, and a desire to escape them.

Two points.

Is there a black person in America of adult years who is not a racist about whites?

Have not the regular displays of black hatred in the forms of hate speech, violence, and rioting over decades ensured every white adult in the country is at least in that sense a racist?

Their hatred makes us racists and then they blame us for it, and use it as justification for their hate.

Thinking of white people, Jeremiah Wright shouted "God damn America!"

By which he meant, "God damn those white people."

But thinking of black people like him and knowing all too well he truly speaks for his race whites often feel, "Wow. And the same to all of you, asshole."
