Scientifically their is no such thing as race based upon skin color. This ideal is a social construct. Skin color is determined by the amount of melanin ones body produces. Melanin only comes in shades of brown. Technically, the only real white people are Albinos, whose skin does not produce or produces very little melanin. All of the rest of us are a shade of brown, from lightest to darkest.

Where can you move where there are no blacks?

Repent and move where they are, and respectfully talk about how nice they are at the first opportunity.

When you do this and respectfully realise how nice they are or can be, then you are free from racism and have learned respect.

They don't. Skin colour is an adaptation to climate, and not an indicator of race. Race is not a biological concept, but it is determined by skeletal size. For instance, Arabs and British are both the same race (Caucasoid), but their skin colour is different as they live in different environments.
