If the former is happening, and while it may not happen to the great extent of the past, it is certainly still happening then the latter just seems like common sense.

To me, it is racist to say that the entire government treats all black men in a racist manner.
It is racist to assert that all white people hate/want to beat down/etc. all black people.
Yes, there are (white) racist individuals in this world - I am not naive. But when a black man makes an assertion about all non-black people, how is that not racist? That is (IMO) what Rev. Wright is preaching. Granted, I have heard worse (Farrakhan), but this is what I see.
