I'll add another layer to this truth. But you have to go way back to when Whites and Blacks first rediscovered each other.
When blacks and semites were ruling the world, that is, from Mesopotamia, to Ancient Egypt, to Assyria, to Babylon, to Persia, Europeans observed, respected, and conducted business with them. And these predominantly Semitic and Black empires, though acknowledging the differences of the underdeverloped European civilisations, accepted them.
When Ancient Greece arose out of Persian influence to become a major world player, they looked at Ethiopians (remember, Ethiopia then described a larger region of Africa, including more peoples) with so much respect it baffles you. They loved each other. And the Greeks have all these stories about them.

So how does this White, newly-dominant empire have little or no racism toward these Blacks? Well, one, they shared similar religions at the time. The most popular of all religions back then was the Sun/Moon/Star cult. There was no Islam, no Christianity, and Judaism was a small racially-exclusive sect. Essentially, the Sun/Moon/Star cult was the first religion of man. It started somewhere and spread to all corners when man migrated.

White Grecians shared the same basic tenets of worship as Persia, Assyria, and Egypt. And by this culture, though they fought for military supremacy, they were more unified.
A secondary reason behind the unity is that the concept of an ethnicity not being evolved or being like an animal didn't even exist yet. When a Greek looked at an Arab, or a Black looked at a European, all they saw was a man of different living and culture. They judged, but on a military and wealth level. The only pocket in which a racial that doctrine existed was in the oral tradition of the Talmud, and it was against blacks. It was the only religious sect that spoke lesser of other ethnicities based not on merit, but birth alone.

How does this relate to Whites? Well, the fall of Rome (which accepted all ethnicities as citizens based on merit), gave rise the Holy Roman Empire in which a Romanized version of Christianity was born. Holy Rome spread their version of Christianity across Europe into the most powerful Empires. And every young European empire that wanted to be the New Rome, followed this religion. They had total power and influence.
After this era, came the rise of Islam out of Arabia. Up until Islam, Arabia still worshipped the Sun/Moon/Star like Ancient Rome, Greece, Persia. And it sparked the Crusades, where the entire battle became about who should or shouldn't be entitled by God to control the Holy Land.
By this point, obsession with the Holy Land and the lineage/ethnicity of Jesus comes to the fore. One on side you have the original Arab Muslims saying that the Biblical covenant of Abraham went to his son Ishmael (ie: the Arabs), and on the other you have some armies of Europe saying it went to his other son Jacob (the tribe of Israel). This is where the Arab-Israel conflict comes from on a racial level.
Where it concerns Blacks? With the Crusades as a backdrop, the oral rabbical teachings of Judaic mysticism became more and more popular on a cultic level. And by the time the wars were over, the Talmudic teaching of the Curse of Ham had become a blended explanation of the Bible's story of Noah and his three sons Japtheth (Europe), Shem (Semites), and Ham (Africa).
Even though the Bible says nothing about a Hamitic Curse, supposed non-Jewish White Christians used a Talmudic teaching - the source of which they never publically mentioned - to justify African slavery. They could not have even known about this teaching if they weren't studying the Talmud or being influenced by it on the down low. In the Talmud, it teaches that God did something to Ham's skin. It was interepreted as being made black and turning his hair curly as a punishment.
Nowhere else in the ancient world did that view of Blacks stem except from that one source, before spreading into Western Christianity on the low. It spread into early Islam, too. Which is why there was so much racism against Blacks as soon as that region became Islamic. That entire region of Arabia, just prior to Islam, was accustomed to scholars from Judaism and Christianity, and it became mixed in to the teachings.
Eventually the stigma evoled. And as Western civilisation moved away from religion, into science, they tried to scientifically justify Blacks as being ideal slaves/non-human/unintelligent in order to keep their slaves. That scientific half-reasoning stuck like glue. And couple that with the Chosen Race attitude Whites stole from a racist minority of Talmudic and Zohar studying Jews, and you have a continual racist complex.
Funny thing is on places like st0rmfr0nt they don't even though that their entire philosophy on Blacks and being the Chosen Ones comes from old racist Judaism. It's like Talmudic Judaism for Whites, where America and Europe is their version of the Israel.
And those are the cliffs.
