Since When Does, “I have Black friends so I’m not racist” Justify for Anything?
I have piles and piles of black friends. They come to my home, I marry them, they use my bathroom. I treat them just like everyone else.
I got that from here. My thing is this, why do people tend to pull that I’m not racist because I have black friends card so much? Having black friends doesn’t necessarily mean you aren’t racist. People can smile in someone face and hate them behind their back day in and day out. Yes I know there are people out there who aren’t racist I know this, but I’m not talking about them. I’m talking about the ones that feel they have to prove something to someone about who they befriend. For example my friend; from what I’m about to say you are going to wonder why I’m friends with him but so what. Well he’s racist, we’ve been friends for almost 6 years now; it’ll be 6 in November. He don’t like blacks but he’s my friend and I’m his. Is he truly my friend to my face and behind my back? Yes. I don’t think a guy like him would risk his life to save mines if he wasn’t a true friend, but that’s another blog on another day.
What I’m saying is, if you aren’t racist…you don’t have to say you’re friends with a bunch of people of said race. You don’t have anything to prove to those who say you are. It gets depressing to see so many people get offended and their scapegoat is that worn out, “I have black friends” card.

i agree..and to go even further,it’s just s ridiculous to say some one IS racist merely because they don’t date blacks or have any black friends. i’m white and i’m shocked at how many people feel that if a person won’t date blacks then their a racist.while blacks (at least in my experience)mostly hang together with other blacks,if whites do the same thing,they’re likely to be called racist.we live na society wherein it’s not acceptable anymore,for white people to be inclusive to their own race regarding anything.
in fact forced diversity is the norm now days.
if an area of town or an apartment complex,etc,is predominantly white,HUD and other groups claim it’s discriminatory and then via courtroom methods demand those areas either build suitable low income housing or in the case of apartment complexes,lower their rent to provide a diverse group of resident population.this is now the normal procedure in tis country when any area of town or neighborhood becomes or is ‘discovered’ to be predominantly caucasian/.this actiion of forced diversity sould of itself be considered an act of racism! it’s now unacceptable for any area anywhere to be predominantly white. it doesn’t make sense.
