how long are people going to holds todays generation responsible for something that happened 100's of years ago. black people need to stop feeling opressed for something not even their grandparents experienced and need to stop blaming white people who had nothing to do with what happened way back when. i'd also be happy if the word just died or wasn't offensive anymore. then you know we've really made some progress.
