My best friend and another neighbor are black.
Neither are african american though.
I have a few black friends and I like them a lot, because they’re nice people and work hard and we just discuss non-racial topics. But I’ve also tried being friends with some blacks, even going as far as giving gifts and other items, and my efforts were met with outright hostility and personal insults.
How can you be friends with that?
A few other people I’ve met of various races (Filipino, Hispanic, Indian) usually after a while seem to need to come out and remind me I’m white, or they complain to ME that they are being discriminated against by white people, which is a damn excuse for general incompetence. I mean ...who cares? The minute they start that crap, it’s over.
My best friends are my white friends who I’ve known all my life and gone to school with. I’m sure most blacks would probably say the same thing.
