This might be a common thought of other people.
The story:
Basically, I'm at work and this dude comes in for some service, so while the staff is helping him, I'm distracting him with conversation.
He tells me that he lives in El Portal, which is an area in between Little Haiti (Haitian area) and Robinhood (Black area). He goes on to tell me how he's picked up some Creole and even says a few words joyfully. But then he says that no group in America is more racist than Blacks.
That he's the same respectful guy with the Haitians and the Blacks but the Blacks treat him with disdain (he's white, blue eyes, grey hair, bad english). He says that he understands they went through their struggle but they can't use it as an excuse to be scumbags
There's more to it but now I'm too lazy to type it all so I'll just sum up his last point:
Basically "I don't believe that anyone is better or worse than anyone, but they're showing me with their actions. If they want to change the perception, THEY have to do it."

People are insecure and want to say no look at them not me, which is basically saying "Hey I'm to p*ssy to say I'm racist so blah blah blah". Can't take somebody serious who doesn't acknowledge their own races faults and calls out another period.
