The saying has nothing at all to do with race, unless you grow up privileged like Goofy. Here is what it really means:

The term “the pot calling the kettle black” is usually used in the sense of accusing someone of hypocrisy. The origins of the phrase date back to at least the 1600s, when several writers published books or plays which included wordplays on this theme. Despite suggestions that the phrase is racist or nonsensical, the meaning is actually quite obvious when one considers the conditions of a medieval kitchen.

So, if one cares to investigate, midieval kitchens were fired with wood or coal, both of which emit smoke that turns the cooking vessels black.  But I guess that doesn't fit GF's narrative so he/she ignores the obvious.
