HAHAHA.......so silly. You said- """preferential treatment because I was abused, nor do I expect it."""......so you think its preferential treatment not to be called a degrading name in public. You must not think much of yourself. The entire point is if someone tells you "HEY, IT HURTS ME OR MAKES ME MAD WHEN YOU CALL ME THIS" ----what moran would do it anyway?????If you need to call people hurtful names to get your point across you are either 9 years old or slow. I am scared for my children to grow up in a world with some of the people on this page. My six year old understands this my 9 year old understands this.........AND IF YOU ARE NOT BLACK THEN YOU CANT COMMENT ON SLAVERY. I love my late great-grandmother and I wouldnt give anything for the time I spent with her. My children have stayed with their great-grandmother once a week since birth.....I know she had a hard life going through the depression. Now I cant imagine how I would feel if I knew she had been sold or raped or seperated from her family. BUT I AM NOT BLACK so I cant comment or say how someone else should feel about slavery...why would you want to? I am not God....... YOU SAY THEY SHOULD GET OVER IT>.....I GUESS AFRICAN AMERICANS WILL "GET OVER" SLAVERY WHEN THEY LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE PEOPLE DONT DISRESPECT THEM BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN.......Respect is not preferential treatment.......Its what GOD expects of his children.
