Look Dude...
USE THE WORDS YOU LIKE...Don't even worry about what other people THINK you are...
BLACKS will say "you're a racist"...Because they've been spoon fed this their whole life...
Gutless whites will say you're a racist because they've been sipping from the same cup....
I say I have Black Friends all the time..SO! THEY have a problem not you....and its THEY who don't even know their own history...Not me...
In fact where do you THINK "black" came from in the sense of "race" to begin with??? - The U.S. Government...
In fact the Govenment DEFINES race thats' how come we do...
If you go back through our tax code and laws, its the U.S. Government's words...
In the 50's they were "negros"
in the 60's they were "colored people"
in the 70's they were "Afro-Americans"
in the 80's they were "Black"
in the 90's they were "People of color"
and now...."African Americans"
Well listen folks...If you don't know who you are how the hell am I suppose to?
Many of us used the above words because we hear them from people who grew up with them...has nothing to do how you FEEL about them...and SO WHAT if I don't like Blacks, Asians, fat kids...None of your business.....
There are LAWS that hold me accountable if I bring harm to YOUR (a white guy) just as much as if I hurt others for their race, or not staying off the "chow line' and their fat...
Everyone is "Soooooooooooooo SPECIAL"....
Forget that....Use the words you like....If they don't Tough....
Stand for something or fall for everything....If they are "THAT SENSITIVE"...Well what can I tell you, Planes leave everyday for Cuba....
There you'll all be the same
Never worry about what others think.....Your REAL friends who know you will know what you mean...

Friends are friends. And friendship goes beyond the outside of a man. Who cares what anyone else thinks? No one has the right to judge for the company you keep.

If they honestly have them, it's fine. Would it be better if they didn't have black friends? Generally these days people only say something like that when they've been accused of being racist, usually because they criticized and individual black or small groups of blacks and someone is trying to make them sound racist because they disapprove of an action, not a race.

I wouldn't say you were a racist, because it doesn't seem like you have anything against black people if you're friends with them, but I think that's really annoying. You're trying to show people how good of a person you are because of all the black friends that you have, so you must not be a racist. But you clearly think that there is a difference between you and them if you are counting them and using them for your own benefit.
One of my close friends has the worst white guilt and she will automatically say that she likes a person if they are black, and she makes sure to say that she likes them, but if it were a white person she wouldn't act that way.
Not being racist doesn't mean that you need to let everyone know that you love every black person ever, especially if it's not true, or especially if the only reason that you like them is because they're black.
You shouldn't feel negatively or positively about them (or anything about them) based on their skin color. You should let their personality dictate your feelings. Like (1)

If deep inside of you, you feel you are inherently more superior than your black friends because you truly believe that whites are just naturally more progressive and better in every way, then I'm afraid You are a racist.

A paedophile can say "I'm not a paedophile, I have lots of child friends", do you think that works?
