I said probably and I base that on what I've seen over the years. India, China, and some other Asian countries are racist as hell. Asians who come to the West often hold a negative view of blacks, especially the older Asians. When I go to the comment section on youtube of black radio stations or a show like Roland Martin's show, the majority of the comments are usually crapping on white people. You don't see that nearly as much with whites. Sure, some comment sections can have some pretty bad racism coming from whites, but that seems far less prevalent to me, per capita. White majority countries are the most liberal countries. They take in immigrants more than anyone else does. Whites are the only group with a huge portion of the group having a negative perception of their own race. Most BLM protesters are probably white.
So, you've seen a lot of Asians who are openly racist, and seen some racist shit on Roland Martin videos. And I personally have never seen a white person call a black person the N-word (at least in person; over the Internet is a very different story). Even if fewer white people actually are racially prejudiced, it doesn't mean jack shit when A) those few who are prejudiced are in a disproportionate amount of power, or B) even if less racist white people are in power, they've still unconsciously adopted the racist habits of those who had previously been in power, or C) the legacy of those racist policies has proven so pervasive that they remain relevant even if we know there's no good reason for them to still exist.
To be fair, the bit about only white people hating themselves is fairly accurate, and the funny thing is, it's a dead end. So you're a self-hating white person, all right. We've done a lot of shit. What does that actually accomplish. Does this help bring black people out of poverty? Does this stop violence from affecting black people any less? Does it stop the mass incarceration of black people for minor drug offenses? No, it doesn't.
