His father was a fireman and a bigot to start with. But he died fighting a fire in a black neighborhood, which Edward Norton's character feels is somewhere he shouldn't have even been. So while the racism started before his fathers death it was intensified after. It's said somewhere in the movie where he's crying I think.

I think so. That was supposed to be the cause of his racism so we can assume that it was a black person that killed his dad. Plus in the movie he make a comment about negores killing fireman so I think so.

It's been a long time since I've seen it, but I don't remember off the top of my head if they say who killed him.

No he wasn't, he just couldn't stand blacks or people of any other race for that matter and would always slander them around the children.
