I commend you for asking a very pertinent question. When Black people talk about "racism", they usually mean White racism against Blacks. In this particular context, "racism" - mindless prejudice against the members of a given race, usually by those of another race - admits of two confounding factors: empirical science (the observed behavior of a given group), and mathematics (the statistics of the group). As a group, Blacks suffer from markedly negative group statistics having especially to do with extremely high rates of violent crime exacerbated by much lower than average mean intelligence and impulse control. The reasons include genetics (e.g., aggression-promoting alleles of the COMT and MAOA genes) and brain anatomy, especially involving the prefrontal cortex. In combination, these statistics establish a significant correlation between highly melanized skin and hostile, aggressive, irrational behavior. This is exacerbated by indoctrination. Many Blacks seem unable to resist divisive propaganda urging them to hate White people. This is why, as a group, they tend to blame all of their problems disproportionately on Whites. Unfortunately, this in itself is a form of racism, and it appears to be even more pronounced than the "racism" imputed to Whites. Can anything be done about it? One would hope so. It might help if Blacks were to modify their own attitudes and behaviors in a positive (smarter, less antisocial, and more constructive) direction. It never hurts to take some responsibility for one's problems. Bear in mind that that while you may be smart and well-intentioned enough to follow through on this, many other Blacks are not. This is a predictable consequence of the above facts. Best wishes in trying to bring about improvement.
