Whether or not you have friends of a certain race, has nothing to do with racism. To be honest, I have never heard a black person say, I have lots of white friends. But I hear white people say it all the time, the implication being. I can't be racist because I have black friends. I'm mostly saying that you don't need to prove that you're not racist every time the subject of race is brought up. <br /><br />I did say my definition of friendship might be different than others, but I still stand behind it. If you answer no to most of those questions, I honestly don't think you are friends, or at the very least, not close friends. Friendship implies doing things together, sharing meals, having drinks, knowing other people in that person's life, etc. Friendship is more than just making small talk in the elevator. <br /><br />And to be honest, I do think white people of are more dickish when it comes to race, and I don't think it's going to get better until we white people start calling each other on our racist bullshit. Maybe, I am being a dick here, but I don't care, and it's probably not going to get any better.<br />Chris Sturhannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04072912463936961199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7754378456709197860.post-91716035240166567022015-07-02T20:42:58.805-07:002015-07-02T20:42:58.805-07:00Wow really!!

How many friends do you have?<br />Line 18. How many are (an opposite characteristic of you)?<br />Line 19. Divide Line 18 by Line 19. This is your Dick Quotient.<br /><br />Of course everyone would have to fill this out - white, black, gay, straight, legal, illegal, employed, unemployed, Christian, Muslim, democrat, republican. <br /><br />Do you really think white people have the biggest Dick Quotient? Singling out whites in the Blog is really being a dick too. And thinking I need to inventory my friends is offensive - my friends are my friends. Do we really need an IRS checklist to test for true friendship? Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
