The problem is because if you have not had black friends you don't have the opportunity to ask honest questions without the fear of being attacked. I work everyday with a black conservative. We discuss racism, why his kids will have to be better than the others just because they are black, how difficult it is for people to look past color. It is a great experience and an eye opener for both of us. We speak openly and candidly. He is not my first close black friend but my closest since my HS days. I enjoy his honesty immensely. While he is not a Obama supporter he is both happy to see a black president and sad to see where our country is heading and the division that is getting worse. We joke that it is a shame that everyone can't work side by side like we do. We compare ourselves to Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman in the bucket list with the exception that I don't have any money.

Absolutely not. I never did anything to the harm black race, do not believe in colective guilt, and I also don't believe in paying for the sins of the father.

It is not off subject because knowing what a black person goes through in day to day life and their struggles makes a white person more understanding, empathetic. It also helps understand, explain, but not condone incidents of black racisim. Racism is wrong no matter what the skin color of the victim is.

You just proved my point. If you are truly proud and white try acting with a little class. Racism does exist and it goes both ways. Try seeing both sides of the coin instead of resorting to denial when it suits you well.
