   1. Most Black folk in the US experience frequent racism, and have to navigate racist systems daily. It's an important part of our lives.

   2. Many white folk are very uncomfortable even hearing about racism.

   3. People often talk about the most important things in their lives, with their friends.

   4. Most white folk in the US (~75%), have no Black friends. Zero. None.

     I don't know if having Black friends makes a person more comfortable with hearing about racism, or if being comfortable hearing about racism lets Black people feel comfortable enough around them to form a friendship.

     But I do know that one of those two things is something that you can work on and improve by yourself, without any Black folk around! ??
