Well, they might very much want so if crackers and Wonder bread would be symbolic of their slavery times, dear. Wouldn't you think?

This is clearly a hot-button topic for you, but you should at least try to be a little more objective. A good start would be to not put words into other peoples' mouths.

Look around, the whole world is a white cultural center. That is if you really care for culture, workingclasshero.

I look at crime stats today,not 140 years ago.Black on white crime today is out of control.The joke part was meant for the students at Missouri.Although,I do not believe you should ruin a couple of 14 year old kids lives because they painted racial terms on a car.If the system thinks rapist and child molestors deserve a second chance,then sure you think a couple of kids that painted the n word on a house hould too

And yet your assumptive generalizations are an exact element to which the racist position stands. Making sweeping generalizations of a race with the intent to accuse them of action or purpose is racist.

When were cotton balls invented?
How much cotton do they contain?
Does wearing cotton clothing make you a racist against black people?
