she probabaly jealous of your relationship with your other friends. or she's just insecure in herself. confront her about it. if yall are really best friends she will understand that it bothers you. if not then she has problems and you should stay away from her.

You should talk to your friend about how you feel. Racism of any kind makes "normal" people uneasy and to have to deal with it constantly is bound to unnerve even the loyalist of friends. She may have some identity issues that she is dealing with now, especially if she is one of the few people of color in your community. She may feel ostracized just in immitation of what she sees in the media. Maybe being different is becoming an issue for her and she thinks that by accusing people of being racist she can excuse her own racial ideas. It's just sad that race is still an issue when there are so many other things to deal with in life. I feel for you but I think that you should confront this dead on! How would she feel being called a black b***h??? Ask her the flip of what she says. Be strong. If she is a real friend she will see how much it hurts you and calm down. If not, oh well...do you really want a friend that lives in such a box???

Good Luck!!

She lives in a black & a white world and probably has a pretty good idea from personal experience of what racism is really about. As her best friend though you are picking up where she may be confused, unaware or just wrong about things. Tell her. It is pretty obvious you care a great deal.

i lived in a white town only black family there was 3 and ya it was diffrent i felt the same way because ppl there was racist and there was nothing for me to do and im actually mixed and i think your really not going to understand unless your in her shoes

but it's always ok this way round isn't it?

Your friend brings up the race issue because she is insecure about being black in a predominantly white area. She probably thinks its best that she address what she think is the '' elephant in the room'' before anyone else does.

Talk to her and let her know that regardless of skin color racism hurts on all sides and that the experience of other african-americans facing prejudice dosen't make it her experience.

my friend does the same thing along with my brothers thier always jokin about how black people dance better,fight better and have more common sense and im like "DUDE SHUT UP we live in america!

they probably are. your friend is just perceptive. the man keeps some of us white people down too. its not a joke.

Alot of black people are conditioned to think white people are racist because of history and things they have heard black people say on the TV. Your friend does seem more racist but I don't know personally but don't most black women prefer black men? People do tend to stick with their own ethnicity.
