Americans inherited their views of Africans from the Europeans that preceded them. To the Europeans, Africans looked much more like animals (specifically monkeys) than they did to their own eyes. They also saw Africans as being less intelligent than they were since they did not have countries that could rival European countries in prestige and power.
Of course, we know today that the difference between European and African societies has nothing to do with the color of skin. While it is debatable whether or not it was cultural or geographic superiority, it is clear that the racism is unwarranted.
