You'll note that in the racism example, the person saying blacks are less intelligent may or may not have ill will towards blacks. They may just believe it's a true fact, like the Sun rising in the East. The attitude isn't necessarily motivated by hatred, although it frequently is.
It would also be racist to say that a particular "race" is genetically smarter. For example I have actually heard from time to time that "Asians" are smartest.
But generally if a "white" American said something like that it wouldnt generate much attention, it would be seen as a compliment to another "race". (There might be an issue because of the grouping of people in to "Asians", but thats kind of beside my point.)

Haha... and then I click the link and see this on the middle of the page:
Nothing like a bunch of oiled up sloppy fat girls crowding around a beer-gutted used car salesman.
I guess the analytic words (racism, white, black, etc) are what linked the advert...
EDIT: Damn, this comment is the best:

The kinda luxury people SEE on the street…
Because being a success is about feeling a sense of pride when you drive around in a hot car or truck. Stuntin. Touring your friends and family. Making everyone jealous.
...because financing rims means you've reached "success"

There really isn't a smiley, nor any words to describe my complete confusion at what this course is. Seriously. What the ****!?

An offshoot of Critical Race Theory, theorists of Critical Whiteness Studies seek to examine the construction and moral implications of whiteness. Currently, there is a great deal of overlap between Critical Whiteness Studies and Critical Race Theory as demonstrated by focus on the legal and historical construction of white identity, the use of narratives (whether legal discourse, testimony or fiction) as a tool for exposing systems of racial power.[36] There is a frequent misunderstanding whereby Critical Whiteness Studies is subsumed within Critical Race Theory even though the latter preceded the former by more than half a century. Some trace the origins of Critical Whiteness Studies to W.E.B. DuBois' "The Souls of White Folk" chapter in Darkwater, and fields such as History and Cultural Studies are primarily responsible for the formative scholarship of Critical Whiteness Studies.

Man if those are the kind of girls 22s attract, Im glad Im not successful or use them myself. Those are a couple of the skankiest scum whores Ive seen. But then stereotypically speaking...those are just the kinds of girls a lot of black guys seem to be with (from personal observations). One time, I went with some of the dancers I know to check out strip clubs looking for some new recruits. We went in one in that part of town and all the girls (loosely term) look like that or worse and the guys there were drooling over them. We ordered drinks, but by the second girl (hoping the first was a fluke) came out we got up and left leaving the drinks on the table.
