If he hates them only for being white, then yes.
If he hates the white establishment for what it has done to black people, then probably not.
Bigots are very real, your unsupported assertion aside.
So, if they tell me that there is no such thing as reverse racism, they're wrong, is that right?

No, there is no such thing as "reverse racism", hatred for the sake of hatred, is still hatred. No matter who is doing the hating.
ONLY ONE RACE OF PEOPLE EXIST.

There are bigots on all sides and all 'round. If someone's telling you that ain't so, they're either badly confused about what bigotry is, or they're dead wrong.
Perhaps you could spit out a whole thought instead of piecemealing your way 'round to them.

Well, @ MarcusA , you still have not answered my question on the last page. The one that is the second response to you saying "If people didn't believe in god, they'd be slaves to religion." You don't plan to avoid this, do you?

As far as I know, I live according to what I know to be true.

Or what you were taught to be true...
Which isn't always necessarily right.

I am mainly self-taught which doesn't exclude me from being an idiot.
