Is it possible to still be racist and at the same time be friends with someone of that race?

So it's no surprise that a large percentage of black males are single in the US. I think the statistics is that 52% of black men do not have partners. Now, one think I've notice and mainly among females is that they are more than fine being BFFs and friendly with black women but the moment a black male tries to talk to them or even shows sexual interest, they often get a bit racist around them.

When I say racist, I mean all social decency they will show to men of other races goes out the window and you are seen as beneath them and low status. Basically, you are basically seen as trash with the woman already formulating in her head your accomplishment in life and level of intelligence.

How is it that women can be friendly with someone of one race and yet be completely racist to the same men of that race?

Yes

No

Of course. A lot of people have spent a lot of time diluting he meaning by saying that everything called racist. The purpose of this seems to be to avoid any logically consistent definition of the word to be applied and Instead just go with whatever fits a narrative.

My simple test of racism is to find any statistical difference between that race nd another and then ask if that difference ask because of their race. If they say yes or clearly want to then they are racist (or its true, in which case it was dumb to pick that for a test). Best example is the median income for black people being lower than for white people. Is this because there is something wrong with black people or because of literally any other reason? Someone with one black friend can easily say there is something wrong with black people, in general. Indeed, even a black person can say that. It's still racist all the same.

You notice wrong, then, and need to grow the hell up. What you are stating is nothing to do with race.

Racists tend to try the "But I have an X friend, so I can't be anti-X!"

Usually they are bullshitting about that friend, or have them only as a token. But regardless, it doesn't mean you can say whatever the hell you like to others.

you give the worse advice in almost all questions.

I'm not necessarily taking about women or men, I mean in general people can be racist because there are different types and some racism can be subconscious or whatever

"racism can be subconscious"
Do you think racism is inherent in White Republican males like me or do you think it is learned from the environment we live in?

[DaisyM23]

@Dargil no one's ever inherently racist because no one (i hope) just automatically starts thinking 'oh this person is terrible because of the colour of their skin and so now i hate everyone of that race' - i would say it's based more on environment/ upbringing and even then, there's no real excuse for racism

A person can still be friends with someone and at the same time, feel superior to them.

I reject black guys most of the time but I will make an exception for him if he is religious and does not obsess over rap music or dress with really baggy pants.

You can but not if you're super racist unless that person is different from how you think that race is and you see them as an exception

Yes, I know of a situation like that.
