Personally, I've met far more white people who were racist than black people but I know there are areas that probably wouldn't be he case
So you, as a white man, have found white people to be racist in your presence (as they see you as one of them), but the black people you've been around seem less likely to be racist when around you (when you would be someone who would be a target for said racism)?
That's some compelling arse shite man

This is the South - you can assume I'm a white male but the truth is it doesn't really matter. People in the South tend to say things in casual conversation and other settings that people in the north won't - goes for both white and black. That's not a revelation. However, I've heard more old white ppl talk shite than black ppl of any age group and my particular area of the South - the Upper South in E. TN - is a different world. It's neither Deep South nor North and for the most part escaped the various tensions that arose in both places.
We have racists but compared to a lot of places (even other places in our own state) we are some mellow mothefrickas.
I don't see why it's difficult for you to concede that where you are matters a great deal when it comes to race. History both long past and the recent past has an enormous impact on tensions and resentments.
