They aren't.

They are not

one example is the Doak Walker trophy awarded to the best running back in College Football each year.

Doak Walker was white.

more examples are John Riggins, Larry Csonka, Jacob Hester, and current Michigan running back Sam Mcguffie.

What is a running back?

Technically there is no difference. The term "Running Back" is generally used to describe Fullbacks, Tail Backs and Half Backs. - As it used to be, full backs were the faster, smaller players in the backfield, and halfbacks were the bigger, stronger blockers. But, as the positions evolved, half backs/ tail backs are now the "feature" backs. Typically smaller and faster, and get more carries than today's full back, which is now the bigger, stronger player, who typically block for half/tail backs. - Running Backs include tail/half backs. Such as Ladanian Tomlinson, Barry Sanders, Gale Sayers, Willie Parker, etc. - Full Backs are the bigger stronger backs, and are considered a separate category from the "other" running backs. Full backs today are players like Mike Alstott, Lorenzo Neal, etc So to be explicit, when someone thinks of a "running back" they're typically thinking of a tail back, or half back, as it's more commonly referred to.
