This is hardly surprising. Even without wilful efforts by Republicans to sow racial dissent in America, black people are more likely to be poor, more likely to be criminal, and more likely to be out of work. None of these are values that white parents would want their kids to be surrounded by. By the same token, until black children discover the differences between their communities and white communities, of course they see white and black children as equal. They lack the discernment to appreciate the realities of life.
It's heartbreaking that children born into black families are almost certainly destined to have less pleasant lives, but at some point, in addition to campaigning for equality, black people need to take responsibility for their actions. Black women, stop having kids unless you are living long term with the fathers, and black men, learn how to use contraception.
