I used to have Black friends when I was younger. Always ended bad. They just can’t help themselves. They get in a situation with other Blacks, and they abandon you or rip you off. I’m polite to them but involve myself as little as possible with them.

I would like to thank Sam for having the kindness to be polite to people he wants to get a divorce from. This is the best way to be. Take the high road. The road of cruelty, avarice and hatred means you are acting the same as the people you dislike for acting bad. You don’t react to people acting bad by acting bad. Now you’re the same as they are. You react to them by acting good.

I will not fault any White person for aversive racism. If you want to divorce yourself from Black people in a polite manner, I have no issues with this. It’s a bit sad, but Blacks brought this rejection on themselves by acting bad. I practice quite a bit of aversive racism, but not completely as I have some great Black people in my life. They’re better than most White people I know! I just don’t have it in me to get a total divorce from Blacks. It seems to cruel and mean and it’s just not me.

But in general, I am rather wary of Blacks, in particular the ghetto types of which we have high percentage around here. I am even friends with some of these more or less ghetto types, but that has generally been a very bad idea, and I really have to limit their worming their way into my life like they are always trying to do.

I do not know what is wrong with them. They almost seem mildly sociopathic. I have very strong moral values, and their lack of values offends me deeply. They routinely do things that are very frowned upon in White society, but Black culture could apparently care less about. I honestly think these two cultures have some different concepts about morality.
