Racism is essentially a fear of strangers.
Its been a survival instinct over the ages, not trusting people ou didn't know or customs you don't understand.
One of the things that is true is that to real foreigners, Americans are identifiable whether they are Black or White because we share a common culture.
But internally we see the two cultures as being distinct.
This is a big country but there are clear differences between Black and White culture. Of course there are differences between most nationalities but unfortunately Black people are always recognizable.
Its time to just accept the common values and ignore the external.
Not easy to do and in many parts of this country there is a fear that goes back a ways, that the Blacks might take over.
Since the Whites there know how badly they treated them, they are deathly afraid of that.
