Oh yea. The dozen or so black guys that I'm friends with and respect doesn't make up for the way I feel about the majority. Hell, they feel the same way about their own ppl!

To answer your question...never heard of a klansmen or skinhead having a black friend.... But I did know a klansman that owned a car shop...would take my car to him to get fixed...would notice the burning cross pic on a wall...didn't know he was a member until his niece told me.. Said the fricker had KKK shite in his garage and always talked shite on blacks when blacks weren't around. But a lot of his customers are black. She told me not to tell anyone...that's when i said...Damn no wonder there's a pic of a big burning cross on his wall." And this fricker would call me "buddy", "bud", was nice to my face. But I never told anyone about his KKK ties. Maybe the rest are dumb like me and saw the pic and thought it was some ceremony or festival he went to. ETA: I would still take my car to his shop...he's an honest guy, great prices....guess the green is all that matters when doing business.

I just wanted to clarify that when I have Asian friend's I mean, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, south Asian/Philippians, not Eskimos frick Eskimos.. damn drunks

Well considering black people can be racist against other black people b/c they are a lighter or darker shade of black, I don't see why not.

Yes.

Don't know what one has to do with the other. You can have a friend and at the same time feel superior to them because you feel your race is superior to theirs.

Excellent question.

It's like this board is a make-believe world. The people I hang around don't harp about race at all. It's only when I visit this board do I learn how tough a time people are having with race in this country.

I don't hear or see anything about race unless it's on national news or this message board. Other than that I can go a day without anything racial, racist, black, white, etc being said.

This website, along with the youtube cesspool and a few others, is the only place I run across blatant racism. I haven't witnessed it in person for in over 20 years.

I think people get racism and ignorance confused too often.



Ignorance is the trendy word tossed out anytime the topic of race comes up. I don't know why.

I've been told several times that my group of friends is either the most or least racist people on the planet. We make jokes about our different races all the time, but could honest care less that we are of different races. Until it's time to call some one a black a-hole or the white devil.

Every person should take a multi-day car trip with a friend of an opposite race.

You both will learn a ton.

I have several black friends.
Several.

However I despise ghetto/ rap/Ebonics culture and personally don't believe in interracial dating/marriage (for my family) others can do whatever their heart desires.
Same way I feel about homosexuality.
It's just not for me and mine.


So sue me or call me racist/homophobe I suppose.
FWiW every white person I know pretty much feels the same exact way.
I would imagine tons of posters here agree. If you have the guts or desire to admit it is a separate issue.

That second "several" really drove home your point.
