I moved to Pennsylvania from California, and the first thing that struck me was when my family went to IHOP for dinner. I couldn't believe what was happening--only white people were seated next to the windows, all black people were given tables away from the windows--even with empty window seats available, black people were only being seated away from the windows. They obviously didn't want black people being seen in the windows--despite the fact that most of the staff was black; I think the manager was Asian.
I find it quite amazing how so many whites think that racism against blacks is over in America. Just look at incarceration levels and you can see there is still racism against blacks--though I know you won't see it that way. I doubt you are black.
But for you to think whites don't give blacks enough to be upset about, you've got some research to do.
Which complaints do you find baseless?

Slavery for starters. Not one of them has ever been one.
The lie that we invented AIDs to kill blacks.
That we nuked Hiroshima only because they were people of color.
That the prison rate for blacks is high because we're trying to get them off the streets.
But I doubt very much that blacks weren't allowed next to the windows. You must be high to think that I would believe that nonsense.
And as for incarceration levels...............people usually get thrown in prison for breaking the law, not for being black.
Imagine a bunch of young idiots listening to Rev. Wright being worked up into a racist froth every Sunday, sending them out into the public with a massive chip on their shoulder. They don't have to believe everything he says, but hate speech like we witnessed isn't going to foster Koom Bi Yah feelings with whites I can assure you.
Hollywood doesn't help them much ether. Most black movies are so depressing I can't stand watching them. The last real good black movie I took the time to watch was Boys In The Hood. Most of them since then have been pretty sad.
I never said that whites aren't prejudice. It just isn't like it used to be. Something that slipped by you was that I believe that institutional discrimination by whites is rare these days, but for blacks we've discovered that it is rampant.
Don Imus gets fired for three words but Rev. Wright is praised even though we have plenty of footage of his racist rants. Organizations like the Black Lawyers for Justice, The New Black Panthers, The Nation of Islam, Black Entertainment Television, Black Movie Channels, Black only awards, Black Miss American Pageant, etc. What would happen if we started up white TV channels, white only beauty pageants, white only law offices, and a white history month.
I don't need you telling me about whites hating blacks because I've been called
Nigger Lover plenty of times when I was with my wife in public........but no more. People hardly notice these days.
White America doesn't exist.
Black America exists by their own choosing.
