When an African American uses the word 'nigger', it doesn't carry the connotation that 'people of your race were slaves to people of my race'. Used among African Americans, saying 'nigger' defies the idea that one person can be superior to another because of race, used among European Americans, saying 'nigger' reinforces that idea.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
Those look really good.

The slave trade of Europe and America was aided by the slave trade of the Africans themselves, they were practicing this before America was discovered. How many black people do you think know this? Do you believe they would approve of this? GC

Actually plenty of black people know this, it's one of the reasons for contentions between native African-Americans and African immigrants. There still quite a lot of resentment.

How many black people do you think know this? Do you believe they would approve of this? African immigrants are not responsible for their ancestors selling your ancestors. None of us are responsible for our ancestors or the actions of our governments before we were of voting age and certainly should not be penalised thereof. This eternal whining about events of 200 years ago is getting extremely boring. Given that being 'black' is the USA is more about cultural identity than anything else given their use of the absurd 'one drop rule' (which makes me black btw) better to dump the whole notion of racial division.
Personally I think anybody who uses filthy words that are of designation to offend like race slurs and profenity should be publicly find.

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.
