It’s no joke, I met a racist who hated black people, as himself was black. Racism is so strange and something that far as I can tell no one is born this way but taught. The fact that it is 2026 and we still haven’t broken away from it shows just how prevalent it is. Also the fact that if we met aliens within a few minutes someone would have a racist term for them also shows how human racism is. Makes one wonder if we have a evolutionary trait for it? Because all humans regardless of color have people within their race who are racist. It’s not just a white man thing.

As a few others have mentioned here… it’s because they were black.
I’ve personally witnessed a racist try to explain to an South Asian friend of mine that he was “OK” because there’s black people and everyone else. I was flabbergasted because this wasn’t some nazi skinhead or something, but instead was an older white gentleman.
All racism is bad. But there’s racism, and then there’s racism in the USA towards black people, which unless you’ve witnessed it, it’s hard to understand how it is a whole other level of racism.
