I think you can, given that the sentiment of the preponderance of racism was presumed to be very much on one side back then.

It was a different time.

Yeah, it was assumed to be so, just like it is assumed to be so now. But that doesn't mean it was, nor that it is. And our society is suffering the fallout from some seriously (probably purposefully) wrong-headed thinking on this subject. It is long past time for reasonable people to realize that demonizing white people as some sort of correction for perceived racism against black people was a cure worse than the disease. That was true back then, and it is true now.
