No, not at all. Despite the fact that we all want to think we accept EVERYONE we come across, the truth is, there is a subconscious barrier that was created when we were too young to even know what segregation, racism, or prejudice was. However, we did learn at a young age that some people are black, some people are white, some are tan, and even some people lack pigment all together (albinos). For the most part, we start off young identifying with people that are like ourselves. It's the foundation of accepting who you are and what you are.
There have actually been studies of this behavior many times over. Each time, a crowd of people who don't know anyone else in the room is told to just hang out for a bit. Meanwhile, slowly the people migrated into separate groups and sure enough, the majority of the groups were all one particular race. Mind you there were quite a few people mixed in with groups that weren't of their own race. Both behaviors are perfectly normal.
I don't think you are any less of a person for naturally feeling/thinking this way.

I wouldn't say you were exactly wrong but I think you are really cutting down on your choices by considering only black friends.

nope but i feel like you need to broaden your horizens. Maybe they want to be friends with you but maybe feel like you have something against them. Open up!!!
