Because of their color, they were thought to be subhuman by the initial explorers who found them. This tradition continued as they were considered property by white people until the granting of their freedom after the American civil war). Even then they were not given the full rights of citizenship until around the 1960s/1960s.

Africans were originally brought to America as slaves, and that created a bad relationship with European Americans from the beginning. After the end of slavery, many people who had always treated people of African descent as inferior to people of European descent saw no reason why they should stop doing that, just because slavery was abolished. Racism is a form of collective selfishness. People tend to want to advance the interests of their own group at the expense of other groups.

because they were found in a different lifestyle to whites, and they looked differently, so whites treated them differently.
