Sorry to break this to you, but its impossible for a minority group to be racist against the majority group, based upon the definition of racism. Racism is a system of oppression and discrimination against a minority group by the majority. Last time I checked, African Americans weren't the minority.
Okay where does it say that racism can only be commited by an ethnic majority?

The defeinition in Anthropolgy, Sociology, and in the dictiontary make no mention of a social power play as a factor of racism...

Racism
rac·ism
1. a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
2. racial prejudice or discrimination
