I was under the apparent misapprehension that people were free to choose their friends as they wished. Maybe I need an expert to help me. This one could help me most by just shutting up.
Don’t tell my lady friend that I’m white, because she certainly isn’t.

What’s facebook?
Black people have self-segregated for years, nothing new here. Maybe they once had a reason but it’s long gone. And whites have, understandably, given up trying to be pals. We have one black friend and his wife. That’s it. Weirdly, blacks and whites work together amicably.
Well, I would have black friends but there aren’t any nearby. I would need to drive maybe 25 miles to where they live. It’s no one’s fault. I chose to live here. And they chose to live there. My son’s classroom includes 8 Asian children though. And their mothers seem very nice. So that’s a start I guess.
In my experience, single women at places of employment do socialize across racial lines - with other women. Same with single men. There’s shopping for the gals and sports for the guys. It works.
Married parents usually socialize with other parents in their neighborhoods/school zones.
It’s not racist - just practical.
I don’t accept the premise that there is a “Black or white America” , sane Americans judge by the content of charachter not color of skin....
but to your question, here is a very likely viewpoint, So called “White America” has ceded the most social power, transfer payments, moral authority and position and place to the Black minority than any other majority ever did in history. For thirty plus years the worst possible accusation one could make of a white person is to be called a racist. To shake the racist charge once and for all, “White America’ elected an absolute nitwit into the office of the Presidency. What does white America get for it all?
the Knockout game- accusations of racism- constant talk of reparations- black self segragation at University, and almost obscenely lopsided black on white crime rate, particularly in violent crime(Rape and murder)
There are more than a few who profit off of hatred and want to keep it going....there are also quite a few low information idiots, who are just too stupid to see what is being done to them...as they await their Government checks.
I have no liberals, socialists or racists as friends.
It's a popular social networking website.
I think we think each other’s taste in music stinks.
Uh, Ms. Stupid Lady? Maam? Blacks are 12% of the population. If whites' friends were 50% black or whatever number it would take to satisfy you, they'd likely only be faking it to escape the wrath of people like you, born from your utter ignorance of math. And demographics. And pretty much everything else. If you need any further help, please hesitate to ask.
It would be more revealing if blacks' friends lists excluded the lighter 88%, but that would be waycisst, right?
I’ve had times when my best friend was black, and times when I have no black friends, and other variations within my running circle, from outer ring acquaintance to fairly close.
In the South it is common to have very good and best friends who are black, in California, it isn’t common at all.
It’ not a melting pot.
We are very balkanized and it’s getting worse not better.
The powers that be prefer to keep us that way.
Divide and conquer.
One black family in my little town. I’m not particularly close with them but we’re certainly friendly.
When they moved here they had an open house to introduce themselves. It got off to a slow start but by 10pm that night there were a dozen rafts parked along their shoreline and cars lined up on both sides of the road.
“Well, I would have black friends but there aren’t any nearby. I would need to drive maybe 25 miles to where they live.”
Don’t worry, the government will take care of that for you.
Since more than 90% of black people support Obama, that means that more than 90% of black people can’t be my friends, since I don’t make friends with evil morons.
I can’t be friends with Democrats, and that eliminates 90% of blacks.
Also among the reasons I can’t stand most Reform Jews.
I also don't have a Korean daughter in law or granddaughter. But my daughter in law is Korean and my granddaughter(the center of my universe) is part Korean.
They must’ve oversampled Dem/Libs in this poll; since race is a qualifier to them.
