Being white and making friends with people of other races requires the same thing as making friends with anyone: a common connection. Keeping that connection
requires more. It needs
compassion and awareness that they have different experiences and perspectives than ÿou do. Mostly, it requires open honest and sensitive communication. It's not easy, but so worth it.
In my own experience, lots of blacks harbor anti-white racism, and/or a bad attitude towards white people. Once when I pulled into the parking lot at work, 2 black employees pulled up in their two cars, and hogged three parking spaces. As the lot was now full, I had to ask them to move their cars, so that I could get into the last remaining parking space. One guy wanted to fight me. Fortunately the other guy knocked him on the shoulder and said, "C'mon, let's move tha cars".
You think they don't have a lot of bad experiences with White people? ( I'm White and I have a lot of those kind of experiences with White people). One of the guys got the other one to move. Make that what you remember. Also, if the guy had been White, would you make it about the whole race? Don't start on the defensive that they're Black and don't like you.
Shitheads come in all colors. But blacks that harbor latent or active racism against white people have one extra reason to be shitheads to white people. Take a look at Jasmine Crockett and Ilhan Omar. Those two don’t even try to hide their racism against white people.
Have you looked at the Democratic Party website? democrats.org/who-we-are/who-we-serve . It says that they serve women, but not men, and every racial/ethnic group except for White people.
okay. Just keep in mind that there are many times more occurrences of black-on-white violence than the converse, despite blacks only making up 14% of the US population.
This feels like it’s drifting from the point quite a bit now. I don’t want this to devolve into anything hostile. No one is incapable of being racist, and there are all sorts of ways that statistics can be twisted and read. Can we all agree that prejudice is bad and that there’s use in befriending people different from us?

You want to keep expanding this, I don't. I don't agree with you and have a different worldview than you. So this conversation is done.

Connection with people teaches us that, except for some inconsequential cultural variations, others are not so different from us.
Have you ever looked at black racism? In 2007, then-candidate Obama called his own grandmother a "typical white person". You can hear it here:

Then there is the anti-White racism of Jasmine Crockett.

Years ago, I received a job settlement for black racism. They never even tried to hide it.
