Not sure how that's an example of racism towards whites. Here's the example:

Your reading comprehension also needs some serious work if you think I was suggesting those actions were justifiable or tolerable. There's a vast difference between exploring the root cause of a problem and accepting or tolerating that problem. Children who are abused are much more common to abuse their own children, but that doesn't mean it's OK.
If some white people are racist as a result of their environment then that doesn't make their opinions any less repugnant, it just explains why some people feel the way they do.

The system that holds them down (i.e. the reservation system that segregates them) would end more quickly if they were willing to let it go.

You want them to "let go" of their constitutionally protected rights without any kind of compensation? And how exactly does throwing them all out on the street help them better their lot in the long run?
