I would point out the obvious, that you made the assertion that the US is the least racist nation on earth, it is your assertion to prove, not mine to disprove. It is a rather massive, world-wide assertion, at that.
I would suggest you sit down with some of the black people around you and talk with them about how racism affects their lives. They might enlighten you a bit.
There is often a big gap between what the law states, and what actually happens in society. Defacto segregation in schools and housing is common, not rare, all a result of our racist history, and racist government policies. The policies have changed, but have not altered these legacies in a substantive way. Look around you at that inner city; how much real opportunity is there? How limited are the job and life prospects for those minorities that live there? What opportunity for mobility do they really have?
