I don't think you need to refuse to hire black people across the board, but you can and should look at them closely to see if they show signs of being race baiters. For instance, make sure you get references of previous employers and talk to them to see why the person left.
I'm a young unmarried male, so I pay higher car insurance premiums because I'm considered a higher risk to the insurance company. Statistically speaking, people matching my demographic cost them more money.
Same deal for you. Black people are a higher risk to your career and the company you work for because they tend to cause more of these kinds of problems, so that merits consideration in the hiring process.
It's not fair to the many black people who would never think of going around screaming racism in order to get preferential treatment. Nor is it fair that I pay out the ass for insurance despite having only one speeding ticket, zero at-fault accidents, and zero claims on my policy. But life's not fair.
