I am skeptical by nature. Please do not take it personally. I doubt that whites are bullied more or less than other races but would be happy to change my stance if offered evidence of it.
People with power are always going to manipulate things to the advantage of them and their children, it is human nature. It doesn't mean that it is morally defensible especially when it is contrary to the interests of society as a whole.
If you say you experienced racially biased bullying then I believe you, though I don't think you explicitly said that you did. Each region is a bit different here. Generally Americans have segregated communities and schools and this greatly disadvantages Blacks and only marginally advantages whites, if at all.
I've heard a lot of this kind of thing happening. In the poorest and most violent black areas there are very few white people to begin with, but there are some new asian immigrants who very definitely do get their asses kicked. I've heard of this in both Philly and NYC. I've heard of it happening to white kids too but there are just fewer white people in those schools to begin with. I think one mistake though is people assuming all inner city schools or mostly black schools are like this when it's really just the worst ones. I think a lot of white people can be blind to the fact that most black people aren't lower class and most black neighborhoods aren't ghettos.
There are some schools that are just too dangerous for good instruction to occur in. Maybe Providence is one of those places. I shouldn't overstate my case.
I doubt that anyone can get a good education in the one public high school in East St. Louis.
Do you have any evidence other than assertion to back your claims?
This looks interesting but I won't pay $20 to read it:

You got me there, dude - it's all clearly a racist conspiracy to make people making comments on Substack look bad.
And to think I would have gotten away with it if not for you meddling kids.
Maybe you should send your kids (presuming you have any) to school up here. You can go ahead and prove me wrong with your own anec-data later, too.

This looks like an excellent public school in Providence. There are many "1"s here as well.
