    In my experience anyone who is in a situation where they feel the have to say “I have black friends” has no black friends. Same with “I’m not racist”, 100% that sentence calls you out as racist. Non racist people and people with a diverse friend group don’t find themselves in situations where they have to say things like that.

      She couldn’t even manage to say “I have black friends.” She had black friends growing up, which could mean she had a black friend in preschool and another one in first grade, if that is even true.

      But she couldn’t even lie about having a black friend now. I mean for fuck’s sake, she’s a Republican politician. Just get a Republican black lady from North Carolina from the 3 who exist and have her pretend to be Nikki’s best friend. They couldn’t even do that. Because apparently even that would be a step too far.
