Doesn't that mean they will never forget the holocaust? I hope they never will. Brother OMI was right. People like you often forget about Jim Crow and segregation in the South where the N word was said as often as Y'all and Ma'am. Jim Crow and segregation was going on centuries AFTER slavery. My parents actually grew up in those times. So did my husband. He was born in 1964. This is still very fresh in their memories. Holocaust survivors are in their 80's, my parents aren't even 60.

And the reason why the Jews don't complain about the holocaust is because they get reparations not only from the GErmans but several European countries as well as the united states (3 billion in aid per year towards the state of Israel). <BR/><BR/>2. for some reason, people forget that the term "nigger" was created to oppress Africans brought to this country. ALthough I agree that no one should use the term, it is taboo for a white person to use it because of its history. <BR/><BR/>3. and its wonderful that we can sit and discuss this like human beings but the truth of the matter is if a white person says it, even in just, among a group of black people beatdowns will be handed out. I seen it happen once too often. <BR/><BR/>4. folks also forget to mention JIm Crow. Which was supported by several state gov'ts and most white people while the fed gov't said nothing. When slavery stopped, white folks still used to term to describe black folks in a bad manner. there are still folks alive who remember that. and you know what? places like Mississippi and Louisiana, things still get down like that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13205384167481897308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9807422.post-1134097092466479952005-12-08T18:58:00.000-08:002005-12-08T18:58:00.000-08:00Please explain why you feel like your rights have ...<I>Please explain why you feel like your rights have been infringed upon because you can't call a black person "nigga" without the impending threat of getting your throat chopped...How would your life change if you could call a black person nigga without getting the taste slapped out of your mouth?</I> <BR/><BR/>First of all, I never said anything about my rights.
