      Have you ever heard "I'm not racist I have black friends"? The mere fact that you distinguish your friends by the color of their skin makes you a racist. Maybe being on the receiving end of racism has made me biasd. Is this an accurate assessment?

      I recognize that I have black friends and white friends and Latino friends and girl friends. How is that racist? Serious question. I can see it being racist if the mere fact of their skin color devalues the friendship but it doesn’t seem racist to recognize those differences.

      Recognizing a difference and saying a difference are two different things. Context is important too. I have lots of friends and black friends too. The separation means there is a difference and a lack of equality otherwise it would have been just I have lots of friends.

      I see your point and I’ve never stood in your shoes or any minorities shoes so I don’t have your perspective but I don’t think most white people say it or think it randomly. It’s in response to being called a racist normally. It’s defensive I think.

      That's a strong possibility but a simple no would do. Or I am not I treat everyone equal or I treat people how they treat me. But like I said that's just me.

      Thanks 4taking the time to explain your view. I agree that definitely would be the best way to response. I was genuinely trying to understand a different point of view and I think I do see what you mean even if I don’t agree that EVERY time someone responds like that it’s racist.

      Nothing is absolute and every rule has exceptions. I understand my own limitations to my view on things which is why I asked the question because I knew I had a biased opinion. And thanks for talking I appreciate it.
