My thoughts:

Racism exists. I’ve seen it. And it disgusts me. On this, we agree. But racism is not a term explicit to the degradation of African-Americans. It is a term referring to the stereotyping of, hatred for, or any discord in the treatment of people of different races. THIS is what I believe we need to battle. There is no “reverse racism”. There is only racism of one man against the other, racism of whites against blacks, whites against hispanics, hispanics against blacks, blacks against hispanics, AND blacks against whites (along with many other races, but that would take a long time to list).
This is what we need to fight. This is what continues to plague us, almost 50 years after Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. spoke of his dream. It is not the flagrant, publicly supported racism of our past, but it is silent prejudices, unspoken fears, arrogant beliefs, it is these things that bind us to the inequality of our ancestors, that hold us from truly accomplishing Reverend King’s dream.
I don’t mean this as a jab at you or your cause. I respect you for your effort and dedication, but I hope you are willing to listen to your own advice. Keep your ears and eyes open. Help others to see that it is not the white man who oppresses or the black man who has to fight it. It is the individual who holds those beliefs and perpetuates them who deserves to be broken down.
When I hear, “Had to be a white”, I see racism no less tolerable than the bigot flying the confederate flag.
Ours is the same fight, the fight against racism, bigots, extremists, and closed-mindedness, but if we claim that only one form of racism exists, we cannot ever escape the cycle, because from isolation grows fear and fear grows hate and hate grows perpetuated racism.

I look forward to your response.
