And I said no way! When I saw his quote – "I'm not a white man who doesn't know any African-Americans," – I could tell that this was a man without a Black Friend in the world (I was also clued in when he didn't flinch at the use of the word Jigaboo by his cohort in their now infamous conversation.)
And, sure enough, he got in contact with me this morning. Check out the email he sent this morning. Anyway, on my quest to be Stephen Colbert's Black Friend it's important for him to know that I do have standards. Just because someone needs a black friend doesn't mean I'll be that black friend. Which of these other people should be out of my league?

reminds me of my younger days when i went out hunting with one of my many indian friends (and actually were friends). I asked arent you afraid to sleep on the dirt ..with all these snakes, scorpions etc. He said "Im nto worried – snake is friend to indian". the next morning i woke up and saw about 5 dead snakes laying around and asked i thought the snake was your friend.
his reply: Indian dont need that many friends.
IMUS–we (those in the human race of any color/ hue/ tint) dont need you as a friend. You should be held accountable / fired for your insults. At least your not saying rehab will cure you….yet
"I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and black races – that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race. I say upon this occasion I do not perceive that because the white man is to have the superior position the negro should be denied everything."

For the love of God, whatever you do, don't be Clarence Thomas' black friend…
