To me, racism means believeing in the superiority of your race over others. The reason its not ok for white people to make fun of other races is because white people are the ones who are in power, and the effect of their stereotyping and prejudice has a far greater impact on politics and the position of black people in the US than anything a black person would say.

On top of that, we should also compare the kinds of comments each group, white and blacks. Whites make comments about blacks that are far more serious in nature, like blacks are "lazy, dirty, stupid", etc. From my experience, blacks tend to make the comments more in "jest", criticizing habits or how white people do things. Which is worse? And When do the black people your referring to say black people are superior to white people? Of course they wouldnt say that, because white people have been keeping them from gaining any power for centuries.

Another thing, when you hear black people making "racist" comments, they're done overtly. People know that its racist. However, when the white controlled media paints black people in a bad light, or any cultural group in the world for that matter (Notice their bias in covering international events), its meant to be taken seriously. Thats a far more insidious kind of racism, wouldnt you agree?
No, although things maybe different in the U.S.A . I say Racism is Racism is Racism!!! whoever does it!!
