None of my closest friends are black. I don't have many credentials to establish myself as a race neutral person, but that doesn't bother me. I work with a black guy who I'm pretty tight with but our relationship is based on mutual respect, not by me trying to act like a black guy or listening to rap when I'm around him. I'm sure that by many people's definition I am a racist, just like I think many people who point the finger are in denial. I see many people called racists for voicing legitimate opinions, or simply disagreeing with a self righteous liberal type and this devalues the meaning of the word until it has no effect. I guess it still scares some people into silence, but not me. In order for a person to be tolerant of everyone and be completely free of racist thoughts and prejudices, they must stop observing the world around them and lose their survival instincts and common sense. Don't let reality or facts get in the way of the pc book of commandments. Most of the people who claim to be tolerant are only tolerant as long you agree with them. If you don't, they will label you as a (insert buzzword here). Remember, it's okay for these righteous ones to resort to name calling and racial slurs as long as they are directed at a white person.
