In reply to the discussion: Study Shows Most White Americans Don't Have Black Friends [View all]truthisfreedom
(23,113 posts)I think I have one or two black friends. It's hard to tell if we actually like each other. I am adamantly anti-racism when it comes to policy and law. I think that because of my lack of childhood immersion I never understood the nuances of black culture. I find the complete disregard for American English grammar and usage in popular music and entertainment off-putting and it causes me to be disinterested in rap and hip hop. I find the over-aggressiveness and confrontational manner of modern black pop entertainment frightening. I think we are naturally wired to be racist once we get past a certain age, in the absence of early immersion. The strongest factor in racism is the existence of "minorities". Eventually we'll all be brown, however... I know this because I was once engaged to a gorgeous girl from Guyana and I think about her still. Our unfortunate breakup was completely unrelated to race.
