Is this something people today believe?

Prejudice can come from anyone and directed toward those they fear, loathe, misunderstand...and so on.
We're seeing that today in the protests, violence, words, and actions in many cities across the globe.

It's that the amount that the state (or other authoritative organisations) endorse (or are complicit in) using power in that fashion (or have been in the past to an extent that it has left a legacy) is far greater for white racism against black people than for black people against white people, even when taking into account the relative population sizes.

An alternative distinction are those who hold that racism is the belief in (or support for) discrimination based upon a person's race.

President Lyndon B. Johnson had had enough. While the Detroit uprising was still underway, he impaneled the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, also known as the Kerner Commission, to investigate this civil unrest. Johnson charged the commission to determine “What happened? Why did it happen? What can be done to prevent it from happening again and again?”
The 11-member commission, with Illinois Gov. Otto Kerner serving as its chairman, had two Black members, Edward Brooke, then a U.S. senator from Massachusetts, and Roy Wilkins, the head of the NAACP. The group returned findings that did not please Johnson, or many others. Instead of finding that outside agitators or troublemakers instigated these uprisings, the commission squarely pinned the blame on white racism. “White racism is essentially responsible for the explosive mixture which has been accumulating in our cities since the end of World War II,” the commission said. But the Kerner Commission did not stop there. It went on to offer a clear and extremely useful definition of racism. Racism was not simple hatred or prejudice based on skin color. Racism occurred when power was added to prejudice — the power to affect someone’s life physically, economically, educationally, politically or otherwise."

This is the question… do you think people from all races can have this power today?
