That was the end of my friendship with this guy. Was it because he thought I was being racist or because he didn't think I valued our friendship enough? I have yet to figure that mystery out and he refused to elaborate.

Probably a combination of things but I do think it would be easy to assume you were talking down to him and he may have felt it was because he was black and not just a very poor choice of words on your part.
