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.

I would NOT consider having anyone who would vote or support Zero as a friend. 98% of blacks voted for FUBO ... do the math

exactly. I have very liberal brother and sister in law that often brag that a friend of their child is black (everytime they mention this girl for years on end. like we didn't remember it the first time--haha.)

Of course I never mention the race of my friendships and they are shocked when I tell them so and so (whom they know to be black) used to be tight with me and so and so and I were buds throughout college or whatever and then it becomes clear in other descriptions of their name they are black and my in laws look dumb founded. You can see them thinking 'wow she's a conservative and a republican and has more black friends then us. as we've actually never really had black friends until out daughter brought this girl home. I'm so confused."

Idiots these libs and racist to the core.

Not that I have a lot of friends still alive, two are black. The majority are Americans of Mexican ancestory or Asian. It’s a result of where I grew up, where I worked and who I married. Go figure.

Of course Oprah knows I’m guilty of the original irredeemable sin of racism. Even my “white Mexican Indian” parts.

Supernova barfapalooza. This guy would probably have homosexual sex to prove that he’s not a “hater”.

Those exceptions are men like Dr. Alan Keyes, Col. Allen West, Dr. Thomas Sowell, Dr. Walter Williams, FBN/FNNs Charles Paine, Dr. Ben Carson


Exactly. I have more black ROLE MODELS than I have black friends. My black friends don’t know of or like my black role models. I unfortunately also live in the country hills.

This article is so chin-deep in cognitive dissonance and unexpurgated racism, it’s hard to know where to start.

No, 5 were 1:1 and one case was 2:1.

It is always that way.
Always.

When was the last time you heard of the converse?

I misread you.

Dah.

Time for sleep.

The only time I got one on one was sport, and even then there was chicanery.

Sure, lookin’ for the check marks on the diversity card until they have to check off:

1. large black family moved next door, upstairs etc.
2. housing project being built in my neighborhood.

- then wait for the comments from a liberals mouth.

And yes, I have seen first hand the white liberal bending over backwards trying to be bestest buddies in the world with the black secretary trying to raise a child by herself.

But, no, same secretary is not invited to the dinner party or cocktail party.


or the liberal who really is so ‘ enlightened ‘ she doesn't dare fire the Mexican cleaning lady who is really not that good at her job, nor hard working, asks far too many personal questions and actually uses the home owners beauty products without asking permission. To fire such a person would be racist of course.

The current trend of faux nostalgia of things that happened in the past ...

Isn't this a contradiction? If it happened, how is it faux?

I’ll tell you who I would like to be friends with. Charles Payne on Fox Business News. I just love his personality, wit, charm, and big teddy bear looks. And boy he is one smart dude. Sharp as a tack when it comes to financial matters. I’d trust his advice in a heartbeat. Love it when he appears on any show on FBN or Fox Cable TV. I go out of my way to look for him. And Charles was my dad’s name, so I have a sentimental attachment to his name also. Charles, you’re the man.
