An easy illustration I guess, is that in most "racist white areas", if they saw a black celebrity (let's say Will Smith) hopping out of their expensive car in the street, they would be over the ****ing moon, telling him how much they love his movies, pestering for an autograph. They don't care that he's a black man - they KNOW he has enhanced social status. They wouldn't prefer it to be a white celebrity. Certainly not a lower-status white celebrity.
If they saw a black man they've never seen before they'd call the police. Because they're racist, yes, in assuming that an unknown black man is likely to be a criminal - and that's the part they hate/fear.
