I'm white and I even know that it's wrong to call a black person Buckwheat, that's not a compliment.

On that show Buckwheat couldn't talk good and they had him looking real bad, that show had racist elements to it, it didn't present a positive image of black kids. The other black kids on that show it didn't show them in a positive light either.

What white folks fail to understand is that anything that reminds black folks of slavery hurts to the soul. White folks back in the day chain ,beat ,rape, hung, black woman,children, and men and with white folk well aware of this history should know better than to look at it as simple name calling.
Considering "Buckwheat" wasn't something a White Slave Owner called a Black Slave, how does that remind you of slavery, rape and beatings?
And you know that the slave owners didn't call them that because.? I know there were a lot more things they were called that was just as unsavory. I had given you more credit you actually deserve, but I also recognize since you have never experienced what Black people have so you wouldn't recognize the bumps that create the negative waves either.

If you've never been there don't assume you can inject your feelings and everyone will back off. Your comments are more like the average white man....it's no big thing just a word/name why are you people getting upset. IF you could reverse those times and put yourself in the place of any black who has been abused by a white man/woman then maybe you would understand. You can't recognize the fact that that same mentality is in effect today. Blacks still have to fight just to get a job, then fight to keep it, or get promoted. You have no idea because as quiet as it's kept color still plays a major role in who gets what, when and how much.
There are only negative waves if you let them affect you... and they are just bumps. Cisslybee has pointed out many things that provoke some deep thought and with the free time I have to think... I've thought about it!

I understand some of what present day Black People go through in the job world. I've stood in the Welfare Office along side Black Men and Women who have lost jobs or can not get a job. At that time in my life, I had to fight just as hard to get back into the workforce and stay there! I chose to start my own business and made something of my life.

We can't reverse the times of slavery in American History, nor should we erase it. We as a People can not learn from our mistakes if they are not there to remind us and better ourselves. There will always be name calling, some of it will hit too close from home. Is it better to go through life as a bitter Person, or to try and find an inkling of humor and not let it consume you. I'm not saying there is any humor in what happened during the times of slavery in the United States, but there are racial slurs for almost every Ethnic Group in the World, does it bother the others? And I understand you feel it is different for Blacks because of slavery... but if you took slavery out of the equation would you feel the same way?
