True, all people are capable of being prejudiced/racist. But true racism involves believing that your race is inherently superior to other races (or that other races are inferior).
If a black person judges me negatively because I am white, it is painful and wrong, but to what level is the harm? On the other hand, if an entire nation, run by white men, is racist against black people, not only is it wrong but it is also extremely harmful.
In other words, in American history, white racism has caused tremendous harm. While our country has come a long way, the effect of the hundreds of years of institutional racism against black people can still be seen and felt today.
As one black men once said to me, "I don't care whether you like me or not; just treat me equally."

maybe because they have and to a certain extent still do practice it so often. native Americans, blacks, Irish, Asians...anyone different, they've used their hate to try scare, murder, rape, enslave and impede other races from bettering themselves. the 2 races that have had the hardest time dealing with white hatred still haven't rebounded...blacks and native Americans.
whites came here and stole the native Americana's land, killed them out right, infected them with diseases and re ligated them to inhospitable territories.
blacks were brought here against their will, forced into labor, stripped of their ENTIRE identity, separated from their families, forced to forget everything that we knew...(families, language, religion, where we came from), denied ALL rights, denied fair and equal treatment, accommodations and education, murdered and discriminated against for centuries...and 50 years ago given the opportunity to be equal....how can we be on the same level now?
and here's a better question for you...why shouldn't other races have harsh feelings towards whites?

Because white people are more racists than others.

That's an excellent point. In every country in the world, the people have a word or a derogatory phrase in their own language for foreigners.

Some are EXTREME RACIST.
Others are barely racist.
And some (The best of all people)don't know how to be racist.

That's an incorrect generalization.
You need to look at individuals on their own merit.
Your question is racist in the sense that you are stereotyping.
