Mickey, I don't think racism of blacks towards whites, if it exists, is much of a problem. Maybe in middle schools or something. Or prisons. How many black parents teach their children that whites are mentally inferior and dirty?  How many white parents warn their children to be extra careful and polite around police because police are more likely to arrest whites? 

How many black judges are there inclined to punish whites for their "privilege" or some such? (How many black judges are there at all?) How many black prosecutors suppose that society is better served by pushing harsher sentences on whites? How many black bankers reject loans to white applicants because of where they live? I am trying to visualize how it "goes both ways."

Also what do you make of cases like the Ferguson MO Police Dept., which used fines imposed on black residents as a source of funding? That is difficult to explain by a few bad apples who supposedly don't spoil the barrel. Or do police depts. become the apples now, a few bad, most good?
