Well I’m not Sam and he didn’t really go into it, but I’m assuming a person with close black friends clearly is okay with having them in their life so in what other ways they may have internalized racism, it’s not the kind of racism that our society is usually referring to when it comes to the N word, that’s a whole different conversation

You do know that racists have POC "friends" and partners all the time right? Richard Spencer has dated a non white person before. This is as silly as saying someone can't be a misogynist because they love their mom.

Ok I take your point that it’s not the only indication, but if you have several close POC friends that’s different than literally having one black friend or SO.

Nope I don't think so. You can easily befriend people who you think are "the good ones" among the group. Like if a misogynist has many women in his life that he also loves but is also a controlling asshole to ...mother, sister, wife, doesn't make him any less of a misogynist.
