your question is a little confusing... either you're wondering why white people are racist or why people say they are. There really aren't very many racist people at all these days, although it's sad to admit that everybody is a little uncomfortable around other races. I think white people get blamed for racism because the white population is greater than the african american population, and because of the whole Martin Luther King era, which really was a time period the US is ashamed about. I think that's how it started, and it'll stay that way until some new race starts enslaving white and black people until the white and black people have like a 2nd Martin Luther King era and then the new race will always be considered racist. The odds of that happening however, are probably quite small.

Have you read some of the questions and comments on YA?
I'm sorry to point that out to you... but most of the racist questions and comments are from white people.
I mean there are racist people in every race but white people tend to take theirs to a whole different level e.g calling an entire race of people dumb and stupid... and even writing book to try to solidify their bias.... VILE!!!
PS: white people are not restricted from attending "black colleges" These colleges are a symbol of triumph over opression! for African-Americans were not allowed to attend other white colleges in the 1800's and early 1900's.
These so called "black colleges" were a last resort of the African-American's attempt to attain a higher level of education.
I love the fact that not only were these colleges successful, but most of them continue to exist today.
