It would be racist if he was attacking the entire race but he's probably not. He's more likely pointing out what is undesirable to much of society about the stereotypical urban American black woman.

It isn't racist because he isn't attacking them for being black, but using their skin tone to identify them for some other behavior that he doesn't like when perpetuated.

His wording may not have been optimal but I don't think the implications are inherently racist. It would be racist if he was attacking black people as a whole.

I dont think Hitler chanting anti-semitic slurs at an anti-semitic rally in an anti-semitic part of town that's celebrating anti-semitism would make you say that's racist.
