I don't have many black friends. I do have quite a few black aquaintences and coworkers but not close friends.
I believe that it does not necessarily relate to skin color as much as culture. Blacks have a different culture than whites. Different life experiences.
If I had a community of Swedes or Germans in my neighborhood, I still probably would not hang out with them. They may look just like me, but they have a different culture and life experiences
Seems blacks want it that way. Anyone who isn't black must be white. Just look at the Zimmerman trial. It was clear to everyone he was Hispanic Latino yet they decided to call him white.
When was the last time everyone was talking about race relations with respect to any other race? It only seems to matter when the left wants it to. Blacks are the primary focus, and sometimes Hispanics when they want to race-bait about immigration.
Fact is most whites don't think about the subject or care about the subject. Seems only blacks are totally immersed in this racial quandary. They live, eat, breathe, and sleep race.
So Zimmermans father wasn't German?
Why does it matter with him when Obama's mother is white? 99% of blacks in America have white ancestors. Doesn't seem to change the fact that they're black.
Recently, a Reuters poll came out showing that 40% of white Americans have zero nonwhite friends, and only 20% of white Americans have five or more nonwhite friends. People seemed shocked that the numbers were so bad.
The Reuters survey itself is misleading, lumping all minorities together under the vague heading of "nonwhite." Depending on what part of the country you live in (e.g, anywhere but Minnesota or Wyoming), it's not uncommon to have Asian or Hispanic friends.
The reason why "How many black friends do you have?" is such a terrible question is because it shows how we typically talk when we talk about race. Even when we try to talk about race in a constructive way, we usually make black people the object of the sentence, rarely the subject.
Black friends are the things to be acquired to prove one is not racist. The way the question is asked accords black people no agency, nor does it reveal anything about the real character of the white person being queried.

I need to find some Dominican friends. I had some Dominican food in Harlem and it was awesome.
But the one guy who lives next door can make the best steak. It is like butter in hour mouth.

I personally know many blacks and some of them are good friends.Fact is most whites don't think about the subject or care about the subject. Seems only blacks are totally immersed in this racial quandary. They live, eat, breathe, and sleep race.
But they ALL have one thing in common.
Everything is seen and judged thru the lens of race and racism.
They are consumed by it 24/7/365
It's what defines their thinking and world view. ..

Money phrase!!
My bestie is African-American.
My close neighbors are Muslin, Hispanic, Indians (from the country of India), Moroccan, Jamaican, Arabs, Asian etc, etc.
Not to mention those whom I grew up with. I was color blind to race/ethnicity. Skin color/heritage was just not my deal. If it were, I'd have to disown 96% of my immediate family.
