"If you have a Black friend and you've never discussed racism with them ..."

93. I have definitely had conversations about racism with my various blacks friends...

at different times through the decades long before George Floyd.
We've sighed, and gotten teary eyed.

Talked about past, and current events. When extra bad stuff is going on (since there's almost something(s) bad going on somewhere(s) ) I try to check in on them specifically besides our usual talks.

They're my friends because our personalities work well enough together, gone through things together, and share passionate interests togrher. Like any other friends - along with this extra layer, aspect.

I also keep reading, and listening to Black people in various media, mediums - as I have for about 50+ years
to keep on learning.
I've done the same kind of learning regarding Asians, Latinx, and Native Americans.

Partly growing up in "The '60's" in NYC in a somewhat mixed neighborhood, being out and about in the city itself doing stuff betond school as well -
not holding yourself away from any group in general you have chances to meet many different people (in certain ways) from you, strike up conversations, and maybe make a new acquaintance, possibly a new friend over time, and sometimes those nearly instant clicking together.
