You have hit the nail on the head. Racism against one race or another is almost-exclusively taught by the members of that race, by their conduct, abject failures and perpetual blaming of others. Your example is a perfect example.
Other races, with quite different records - records of success and achievement, and getting along with others and being law abiding, don't experience nearly the same animosity, and it is almost always short lived. I would offer my brothers and sisters from Asia as an example of that.
I would hope that your friend would understand there is a difference between the best of the Black population and the worst of the Black population. That is just sad.
I think he believes that when he uses racial slurs, he's not referring to all blacks, only those that act in specific ways. He's actually stated that the N-word refers to the black equivalent of "white trash", not all blacks. I don't think he understands the implication of using a racial slur to describe the behavior of a small group of people.

I have to wonder what your old acquaintance went to jail for, and if he got really institutionalized. Prison isn't the same as the free world.
He went to jail for participating in an armed robbery. I didn't know him at the time, but he claimed that he was offered $1,000 to pick up two people in his car at a certain time/place. He did so and didn't realize that he was the getaway driver until the police showed up at his house. He claimed that the actual robbers gave him up and he is the only one who ended up doing any time. I have no idea how much of this is true. Suffice it to say, he's not a good person. He went on to be very successful, retiring in his mid-40s as a multi millionaire. I once asked him to explain the apparent conundrum in which his best worker was black while he simultaneously claimed all blacks were supposedly shiftless and lazy. He just stared at me blankly.
When Obama was elected, he looked me straight in the eye and said "See, its people like you who let this happen". He was/is a real piece of work.
It comes down to blaming somebody else for your problems. You have a crap life, its easier to blame somebody else for your problems rather than take responsibility and try to change yourself. You're a moron and quick to believe somebody saying they'll help you and you're too stupid to realize they want you to stay messed up so they can make a living BSing you.
Ingesting lead paint either by the racist or their ancestors has a lot to do with the disease
