Relatives, friends, people I grew up with. Not sure why this surprises you. Just relatives alone. I have a massive extended family. One cousin I had to stop talking to because everyday was something about how the white man was holding him down. When Trump got elected he said he expects slavery to come back. Of course he lives in a majority white suburban neighborhood. One of many example. I was raised to not see color. I still consider myself colorblind in the sense that your skin color doesn’t define the kind of person you are. I love my relatives but I don’t hang out with them as often.
I’ve met a lot of great white people and some not so great ones. Same with black people. I’ve met and had conversations with white here who would rather only associate with whites.
Cool. So, is it understandable that people want to live in a community with more people like you, than with people who see race as such a huge factor in how they see others?
Well the one cousin lives around mostly white people but constantly complains about them so I find that odd. But I’m all for voluntary association. If you only want to live with certain kinds of people then so be it. I tend to associate with other Christians but I’ve never saw race a factor in determine friends. Grew up going to church and still go so naturally a lot of my friends will be from church.

I'm glad that you don't see skin color as a factor of who a person is. Have you met white people who don't feel this way?
