lol I initially raged about my own experience, but I'm curious if you can't kind yourself through to him?
Like, honestly though, you should say it imo. He is a shit worker and should be held accountable, being black has nothing to do with it. Behaving abnormally due to his skin colour is more racist than calling him out as far as I can see. Otherwise ignoring him is probably your best bet, just like don't be rude about it.

But if you're forced to interact, and your job involves a physical product, it wouldn't be out of place to let him know every time he refuses to listen to instructions- just in a kind and quick sort of way? Just smile, let him know, and keep reminding him of the proper way to handle/process whatever it is you do. Don't linger, don't interact more than necessary, just inform, smile, wait for an acknowledgement if necessary and move on. Pretend it's the first time, every time, and keep doing it until he figures it out.
I smiled my way through some serious fury and rage when I worked with the biggest piece of shit I've ever known. It's almost reverse psychology on yourself from my experience- though the rest of the staff hated her too, so that definitely helped. But being kind was extremely cathartic for me, I can't quite explain it, it was the only reason I lasted as long as I did.
