Since moving to Orlando, I haven't made one yet, I mean I haven't made any black enemies either, there just doesn't seem to be as many black people around here.
Stroud crowd is right that it's not hard for a white person to make friends with the black person.
But just because we as individuals do not behave in racist ways towards other individuals, does not mean that society is free of racism.
I think our responsibility to fight racism extends beyond merely not being personally racist.

You live in Orlando (or area) and don't run into black people daily? How is that possible?

My neighborhood in Sanford is (WAG) 40% black, 40% Hispanic, and 20% white. Everybody gets along just fine.

We should get together for a beer sometime.
