I agree to the second paragraph. But admittedly, I have not had the same upbringing for the first. Yet, have I been stumped enough to believe all that was said to me growing up. So no, I personally haven’t had black friends and as a matter of fact I was kinda “thought” otherwise But I’m a God first kinda guy and take the best of all I was taught.
