Before that, those who we consider "white" were grouped in communities that reflected what we would call ethnicity or nationality. Creating these "races" allowed proponents of a white supremacy to claim there was a science behind their beliefs. 

Black people in the United States have formed a black community because they were forced to be defined by their race for centuries. All previous identity they had was erased. Where as most white people can tell you the ethnicity of their ancestors, most black people cannot do that, so their culture became a "black culture" because that's all they had.

There is no white community outside of white supremacists circles. 

Yup. If you look at Asian or Latino/Hispanic communities, they group based on nationality. Same for white people (to a lesser extent in America now, but some still do), and for black people in recent history that have emigrated. But for the black community that was forcefully taken to places there are very few that have that identity beyond being black. It's interesting to see those that do (there is an Igbo Festival nearby here each year that is pretty awesome) but they are few and far between.
