Humans are irrational by default. Where there's resources humans would go tooth and nail (violence) to pursue it and achieve it.
The origin of anti black indoctrination started with religion
Rabbi Maimonides, whose considered a Jewish philosopher (The Guide to the Lost, Book III, Chapter 51) states about Black people:
"Their nature is similar to that of mute animals, and in my opinion they do not reach the rank of human beings; among the existing things they are inferior to man but superior to the ape, for they possess in a greater measure than the ape the image and likeness of man"
The stories of black people being cursed was passed down into other religious texts
In the Quran, we find in the Surah Al Imran (The family of Imran) verses 106-107
"On the day when certain faces will be illuminated, and others will darken. To those whose faces will be darkened (it will be said): "Have you disbelieved after having faith? "Well, taste the punishment, for having denied the faith".
107 "And as for those whose faces shall be enlightened, they shall be in the mercy of Allah, where they shall dwell forever"
Tabari's Chronicle (Persian Koran) Tabari goes in explanatory of the "Ham's curse"
"Yet, may you know that all creatures have gone forth after Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. The Arabs, Persians, the white-faced men, the good people, the
jurisconsults, the scholars, and the wise, are of the race of Shem, and this is why:
"One day Noah was asleep; the wind lifted his clothes and uncovered his private parts without his notice. Japhet passed near Noah, whose private parts he saw, He began laugh out loud, and to turn his father into ridicule, without covering him. Ham, Japheth's brother, arrived; He looked at Noah, burst out laughing and joking, and passed by, leaving his father in the condition in which he found him.
"Sem came after his brothers, and seeing Noah in an indecent posture, he turned his eyes away and hid his father's nakedness. Then Noah woke up and asked Shem what had happened; Having heard that Ham and Japheth had passed him by, and laughed, he cursed them, saying, "may God change the seed of your kidneys. After that, all the men and the fruits of the land of Ham became black. The black grape is one of the latter."
Thus from this, religion has made black people synonymous with "evil", "sorcerer", "cursed by God" "idolater". Because of the writing inscribed by priests, popes, imams, this has driven racism stereotypes and racism towards black people.
In the early days of abolition of slavery, the idea of the black curse is why the Ku Klux Klan attacked Black people (considered them demons) in order to lynch them, kill them, burn their possessions and houses. Since the Church justified slavery.
