No, it is not. It is, however, unfortunate that you do not see why it is not.
Do you have a black friend?

Is there a measurable way to determine whether an entire country is racist?
Or is it just an opinion based on the emotions of people who are of a minority skin color?
I know, right?
Rational Wiki - Friend Argument: The friend argument is an argument used by people who want to claim knowledge about and/or sympathy with a group, by referring to their "friends" belonging to this group. It is commonly used to clear and absolve oneself from suspicion of racism, xenophobia or other kinds of prejudice. It is a particular form of the "Not prejudiced, but…" statement.
Take it however you like.
Is that how it works? So I can claim that if you don't condemn Trump's tax cuts you don't care about the debt?
That's illogical, since debt is created by overspending, which I have routinely criticized Trump for his over spending.
Debt is not created by tax cuts. Debt is created by spending. Michael Jackson earned over an estimated billion dollars in his life time. Yet at the time of his death, he was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Claiming that tax cuts caused the debt, is equal to claiming Michael Jackson just didn't earn enough.
Ridiculous claim. The problem is spending. Now if I supported Trumps massive spending increases, and you claimed I did not care about debt, you would be dead on right in that criticism.
Odd then, that POC don’t hold a proportional percentage of wealth as white folk.

That kind of double-standard makes it hard to take seriously your apparent outrage at Omar.

Friends probably shouldn't (and probably don't) post the name of their closest friends online. I would never post my friends' names online... just seems like a good idea.Several in fact. One of my closest friends was a woman from Somalia, named Nadia Jama.
People that are saddened by the idea that white supremacy is considered a bad thing are racist. Simple.
