A black man, in America, by definition CANNOT be a racist.
He may be prejudiced, or a bigot, but racism as a term implies the exercise of power against another race: there isnt much scope for that when your ancestors were slaves to the people who are now your neighbours, and even 75 years ago national newspapers and most police would call you "nigger" - when in living memory you couldnt sit on a bus if a white person was standing.
