died and went to hell came back and said that nearly everyone in hell is White.
Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed reading the near death experiences of Black people. But it seemed
racist to me that Dr. Lloyd Rudy (who is White) allowed so much finger pointing at Whites being
an evil race who is going to brimstone.

"Society" (and I'm talking the media, white liberals, the intelligentsia and social science departments and entertain industry) does not hold minorities to the same standards they do white folks.
White folks are the adults in the room to these people, and minorities are just children who don't know better (or whose bad behavior can be excused) Therefore, "society" gives a pass to these really stupid minority racists who "don't know better" or are just like children who lack agency over their minds and bodies.
Thus, the only way you'd find similar stories published academically (if there were whites who said they saw hell only full of black people), it would be used in the context of showing how racist whites are. The other way around, however? Well, that's just social justice and the lived black experience in America.
Fortunately the law strives to treat people the same way. Which is why yes, white men, you CAN sue if you are being treated unfairly at work on account of immutable characteristics of your personhood. It's why these laws exist and why you need to support them.
