You are partially right. The bragging can get annoying, yet, accomplish nothing. However, on the other hand, it may accomplish tremendous implications. Knowing that slavery had occurred, dating back from the 16th century, had caused uproar. It still occurs in this day, that this 'subconscious bragging is a sign of illiteracy. Those 'Negros' are starving heavy lexical bundles to wield against their superior white race. We cannot ignore it and leave it like the case with red Indians and its history from below, hence, with the up rise of media, this is expected. Also, bragging, on the other hand, is a sign of resistance. Even though it is translated to apes talk, in my opinion, though, if it did make sense, a form of revolution or upheaval may make sense. Speaking of which, ancestry and anthropologically, these humans were descended from Africa. Their literacy levels are so low, hence, they succeed in physicals ports like basketball and entertainment such as singing and rapping. Since this is their former traits: yelling, dancing, painting faces, being organised to meet nature's wilderness and survivability. Although, on a slightly different scale. These people are nearly lost; though, more people like Martin Luther King could have done something, and of course, this is due to his educated state.

However, I will say this. I don't give a shit about "slavery". This for the following reasons:
- Human beings are cruel. Get over it. We're a savage species at our root. Just a cursory glance at how we behave lends to this.
- Most blacks who claim to hate whites over slavery are total hypocrites. If racism is bad, then it cannot be used to serve your own agenda. If something is deemed wrong, it cannot be right when YOU use it. You are no better than the racist "evil" (lulz.. evil doesn't even exist) white people.
- What does being angry do exactly? Will your anger travel back in time to 1750 or whenever, unshackle your ancestor on the slave ship and send him or her back to Africa?
