So while yes blacks can be racist against white people, those white people most often will never face it because majority of the US is white. You can't be discriminated against when you have the power of those who are "racist" against you.

That depends on the circumstances.
On an institutionalised basis, White people probably will never feel racism in the US. However, there are places, where White people are being treated as second-class citizens (South Africa or Zimbabwe being the major examples with the racism getting to genocide the governments ignore and quietly support).
And racism can be treating a White person badly in a Black-dominated environment. Or it may concern other races, don't want to make this all about White/Black people. But it does happen, for instance with Arabic Muslims who have their own districts in cities such as Goteborg and Malmo, Sweden; Marseilles, France and try to impose their beliefs on other people.
Racism comes in all shapes and limiting this to Black slavery is a way of triggering the guilt of White people who are not guilty of slavery. It's not my fault Black people were enslaved by Americans and neither of contemporary White Americans is. Political correctness is going absurd.
