When you're regarding race and racial category you can only make determinations for the categories put forth by the ideology. The term "Black" was never offered by race category and to this very day has yet to be accepted officially- would racist ideology ever bestowed upon a supposed sub-species a label that demonstrated equality? No- history clearly demonstrates that "Black" is something that people formerly known as niggers, colored and 3/5 human- a few of them very prominent figures of African American struggle determined to call themselves. Many of them wrote books to further delineate that which made "Blackness"- none of it called upon the pseudo science of race category. Unless they believed in race theory - the idea that "Whites" are further evolved than any other "race" then they arent necessarily racist- and being that the term "Black" has several nationalist tones behind it- Black people would more accurately be described as nationalists.

The truth about race is that there is an actual study of human classification- and while science denounces the idea that humans are stratified in manner of sub-species (which the term race signifies) it is willing to accept that there are a set of common features and corresponding race categories.

These categories are Caucasian, Negroid, and Mongloid.

here's the problem...

These categories were never intended to regard any matter of behavior or culture and they do not signify any presumption of biological and genetic variance which is the widescale presumption that race category encourages. It is only meant to refer to the demonstrated details and commonality of human physical appearance- the idea that anyone is "white" is vague and self-aggrandizing and it is only supported by the ideology of white supremacy.

The term "Caucasoid" not only refers to people of European descent but people of Middle Eastern and North african descent as well. The only science that substantiates the idea that "whites" are an exclusive if not superior class is racist "white" theory. If "Blacks" believed in that theory then they would consider themselves a subspecies- by and large they dont so i wouldnt consider them racist but nonetheless they are suppressed by a society that is and at this point must at least understand the ideology and work through it in order to attack it at its root.

the roots are all of you
