FIRST OF ALL I WOULD LIKE TO SAY I AM BLACK, SECOND IT SEEMS TO ME MOST OF YOU WHO REPLY ARE RACIST ANYWAY SO YOUR COMMENTS ARE SIMPLY IGNORED, THIRD YES I KNOW MY HISTORY YES BLACK KINGS SOLD BLACK PEOPLE FOR GOODS WHICH WAS WRONG. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HIM OR HER OR WHOEVER CAUSE I WASN'T BORN YES I KNOW THAT BEATING AND LYNCHINGS WENT ON IN THE EARLY DAYS I FEEL SORRY FOR THE PEOPLE WHO DIED AND WHO WAS INVOLVED BUT I WASN'T BORN. THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT IT STILL GOES ON TODAY YES RICHARDS SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID WHAT HE SAID AND THE PEOPLE WHO HE SAID IT TO LOWERED THEMSELVES WHEN THEY REPLIED TO HIS RACIAL SLURS. BUT AS ADULT WE ALL KNOW WHERE TO DRAW THE LINE. YES I SAY IT WHEN I AM IN NORMAL CONVERSATION WITH MY FRIENDS BUT I DON'T AND WILL NOT USE IT AROUND ANOTHER RACE YOU KNOW THERE ARE THINGS YOU CAN SAY TO YOUR FRIENDS OR FAMILY AND IT WOULD JUST BE CONVERSATION BUT IF YOU SAID THE SAME THING TO SOMEONE ELSE OUTSIDE YOUR FAMILY THEY WOULD TAKE IT AS A INSULT OR IT MIGHT HURT THEIR FEELINGS. THIS ARTICLE NEEDS TO BE LAID TO REST CAUSE IT LEFT THE POINT OF BEING ABOUT RICHARDS AND OPEN THE DOOR FOR PEOPLE TO EXPRESS THERE FEELINGS OF BEING A RACIST. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH ANY RACE AND YOU CAN SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT THIS IS A FREE COUNTRY. I KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE RACIST WHITE OR BLACK OR ANY COLOR BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HATE US NOW JUST CAUSE WE ARE AMERICAN THEY ARE NOT CARING IF YOU ARE BLACK OR WHITE THAT'S WHO WE NEED TO FOCUS ON. BUT LIKE I SAID I AM REALLY NOT WORRIED ABOUT IT ANYMORE HE SAID IT AND ITS OVER RIGHT OR WRONG BUT IF YOU FEEL THAT WaY THAN GO UP TO THE NEXT BLACK PERSON AND CALL HIM OR HER A "N" OR TO THE NEXT WHITE PERSON AND CALL THEM A "C" I'M SURE THE SITUATION WILL GET TAKEN CARE OF RIGHT THEN AND YOU WON'T HAVE TO COME ON HERE TALKING ABOUT HOW THIS AND THAT SHOULD BE YOU CAN TALK ABOUT HOW THEY KICKED YOUR ***. HAVE A NICE DAY.
