1. Most Black folk in the US experience frequent racism, and have to navigate racist systems daily. It's an important part of our lives.
2. Many white folk are very uncomfortable even hearing about racism.
3. People often talk about the most important things in their lives, with their friends.
4. Most white folk in the US (~75%), have no Black friends. Zero. None.

@mekkaokereke A black former colleague said that he and a white colleague were on a business trip to the US (can't remember the state) and they got some very odd looks in the bar when they went for a beer together after work, which we found surprising and depressing. I can't think that would be in any city centre in the UK, or indeed most towns that I can think of.
