Why don't whites have black friends?

White people are products of their own whitewashed, sanitized environment. Black people have been systematically excluded from white neighborhoods. Black stories rarely surface in popular culture. The history of race in high school textbooks has been boiled down to a handful of bedtime stories about Jackie Robinson and Rosa Parks. Try to tap into the average white person's feelings on race and you won't necessarily find feelings of hate and antipathy. You just won't find much of anything, no fully formed or well-considered thoughts about race of any kind. There's nothing really there. Even white people who want black friends don't know where to start.

“Maybe it just depends on where you live.”

And maybe it depends on what is in your heart and what you are truly made of. I care more about what The Creator thinks of me than I do about what any man thinks...of ANYTHING.

Almost all my friends are Native American some of them are American Indian and a couple of them are black.

I am old enough to remember when Native Americans didn’t consider Indian to be a racial slur.

I also have some black relatives and we all get along fine.

why don’t black people have lots of white friends? why do they stay in mostly black neighborhoods in urban areas?

why are these black neighborhoods so hostile to anyone who isn’t black?

good brief, let people be friends with who they want to be friends with. who cares what color they are.

..... Why do I have a feeling that we are about to have mandatory friends assigned to us by the US Government using Affirmative Action?

If you own a King-Size bed, you may be in for it (the bed question may have been in the census inquiry ;-)

i have zero liberal friends, which knocks out at least 40-50% of whites, and 95% or more of blacks.

i have liberal family, but they’re family and we’re civil if we don’t discuss certain things.

“Cuz in many cases they say the “F word” three times in each sentence?”

With the “Mother” Preamble! And they delight in using the “N” word prolifically in front of us. I used to have a black friend. He taught me how to drink beer and drive and never let anyone see you doing it.

Wife and I went to live next door to a black family after putting aside any unfair feelings. I refused to allow any bigoted thoughts to affect my decision. It wouldn't be right.

Terrible mistake. Lot's of loud bassy music. Lot's of shooting. One kid picked up a running hose in my yard and sprayed me with it, laughing. Garbage in the yard.

Apologies to any black conservatives that might be reading, but never again. I get one life. I'm not wasting anymore time trying to be fair while I'm made miserable.

Just writing that makes me feel rotten, but I feel what I feel. It's not a choice.

I have lots of black friends.

BUT WAIT! I AM NOT SUPPOSED TO SAY THAT BECAUSE ITS NOT PC.

YOU’RE SO CALLED BLACK FRIENDS ARE JUST TOKENS.

This is from a class I was forced to take in the US Army. All whites were guilty of something.

Later on I was mugged and got a scull fracture from my new friends.

After I cooled off, I still don’t hate anyone.

But I do racial profile now. I am not stupid.

Secular people in particular see a complete racial chasm. It’s not uncommon for white folks committed to Jesus to have a number of black friends from their work on His behalf even (or perhaps especially) in communities with substantial de facto housing segregation.

To: GOP Poet

exactly. the same reason i’d vote for sowell or thomas or walter williams in a heartbeat for president. how can you be friends with people that oppose you for what you believe and who you are as a person?

it’s such a stupid question based on a flawed premise. and utterly ignoring huge demographic number differences.

If whites don’t have black friends, does that mean blacks don’t have white friends?

i really have no interest watching grown men of any color, groping, tackling, and fighting each other for various balls, for hours at a time.

anything we post is “evidence” we’re racist. don’t you get that people who’ve already decided we are aren’t going to be changed by anything posted on a stupid internet thread?!? don’t you get that the people who see racism everywhere, see it everywhere, whether it’s there or not?!?

good grief, grab the tylenol, you have a fever.

I can definitely understand that. I do not make friends with liberals either.

I find that I have hardened on this more recently, with the final setting taking place over Martin and Zimmerman.

I have seen how they are now. I know what they think of me and those like me. I have done nothing to warrant their perceptions of me.

Having this unfortunate knowledge now, the feeling has become mutual. Relations are poisoned.

You wanted to defend a violent thug to such an extent that you would have an innocent man jailed or killed or both? Having failed that you now attack my right to self defense and call me racist?

To Hell with you, we’re done.

Those are my thoughts on the matter, razz. You know I’m sorry it came to this, but it was not me who brought us here, it was them. I’ve now left them to stand alone with their racism and hate and self loathing.

don’t know. can’t speak for all whites or blacks. given population percentages it sure seems’easier’for blacks to have white friends. let them be friends with all the guilty white liberals who voted for obama.
