[Denise]

As far as I know, friendship has never been based on color lines. It has always been just a matter of what type of person you are and what type of person you care to hang around. I am a black female, and the majority of my friends are also black. However, it is not because I chose to mostly have black friends; it was a matter of who I like and who likes me. I think it is good that you may want to go beyond your usual social circle, but don’t go looking for a black person to befriend just to say you had/have a black friend, or as an experiment to find out what it is like to have a black friend. Another note on interracial friendships: there are to my knowledge no privileges or restrictions that being a certain race bring (well, not outside of certain things you can’t say, like when associating with black people, ‘nigger’ is definitely not a word that should come out of your mouth). Anything that comes out of a friendship should be genuine.
