But far too many of them are and see racists in every closet and discrimination in every action of their life that is not to their satisfaction.
From my experience with Aframs and New Wrold Blacks, that's true. Maybe if they forgot about the history of discrimination, oppression, KKK and slavery etc in America...perhaps their attitude will change and they will stop acting like victims. However, you must understand they do experience racism on a regular basis...whether they provoke it or not...that's debatable

I also experience racism on a regular basis. I can't even tell you how many times I've been referred to as Whiteboy in public places by strangers, how many times people have assumed that I come from money because of the color of my skin, or that I'm a cop, or how many times it has been implied or outright stated that my life's achievements are insignificant because I'm white and it's just natural for other white people to help me. But this is all socially acceptable, there need be no conspiracy of behind-closed-doors comments or handshakes. This is ok because white people are "privileged" and are getting a taste of their own medicine. Some of my ancestors were treated equally poorly to early American black slaves, but I don't feel like I'm owed interest on the potatoes taken from them.

I posted this exact question in a thread about white rappers about 3 months ago.

What are black people suggesting they're entitled too that other races aren't? Did you actually have a point or was that just a blanket statement of ignorance?
