My argument has been and will continue to be that racism is not just whites against blacks or whites againt everyone else who isn't white. It goes both ways. I do feel that the whiteface and blackface are equal though..........I dont' see how it is different for a black guy to paint his face white and a white guy to paint his face black.

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.
The fact remains that people want to whine and cry when they are held accountable for their actions. Its one thing to mock an entire group of people, especially when that behavior has deep roots in this country, and its something else to have a Halloween costume that doesn't have anything to do about anything.
Personally, I think it was tacky and bad taste for him to decide to be "white" for Halloween. But racism? Nope, and if you don't like it, you can go cry a river for all I care.
