A Brief History of the “Black Friend”

"Such cases reflect a pervasive tradition of white people using their Black friends, family members, or associates as cover for racist statements or actions. It is, as Tim Wise notes, “the fall-back defense for every act of racist asininity.” Such events occur so frequently that they are often satirized in Black popular culture. In the 2014 film, Dear White People, Sam, the film’s protagonist, announces on her University radio program that the required quota for the number of “Black friends needed to not seem racist” was raised to “two.” Michael Harriot, writing for The Root, offered a column entitled “7 Rules for White People with Black Friends,” which included tips on how white friends can navigate using the N-word and how they can stop acting like a “colonizer.” In his animated short, Your Black Friend, artist Ben Passmore uses satire to examine the “unique kind of indirect bigotry” expressed by white people who remain indifferent as racism manifests around them."
