Why do white people keep caping for black people like an obcessed lover.

No that's not the issue. The issue is American education is white washed. You can go from preschool to graduate school and not learn a thing about blacks or any history outside of white culture. This then breeds ignorance. Knowing the history of another group builds better understanding. It's one of the first steps towards equality.
