I feel like I'm talking in circles here so this is the last time I'll say it: racism refers to a system of oppression based on the presumption that the oppressors' race is superior to those being oppressed. There has never been a system of oppression in this country in which white people have been oppressed by any minority group systemically, so it is not correct to say that a black person hating a white person is racist. It is prejudiced, bigoted, etc., but racism is about power and policy.

Racism isn't a system of oppression, it is prejudice based in beliefs of racial superiority. There are certainly systems of oppression based in racism but racism itself isn't the system.
