As far as i know:on a personal note, there has not been any Black slavery here in the U.S. since i have been born.You are speaking of things that simply do not exist anymore! How long has it been since you have personally seen a hanging of white or black ? I have never seen one,i have been here since the 60's ! None of these Black youths have ever seen a hanging,witnessed slavery,or not had the right to vote ! So why all the hatred? Why does the word Nigger bother them? To them its just a word,or it should be.Look around,it does not look like the black population has suffered from anything that happened 100 years ago ! The Blacks use the "word" to each other every day.Maybe they are the ones who are living in the past ?
