No, I am not proud of how the black minority was treated back in the day, but from my personal experience of going to the most integrated schools in the largest city in Kansas, we treated each other with mutual respect. If you didn't, you went outside and developed a mutual understanding. We didn't need someone telling us what to do. I was raised to treat others as I would like to be treated.

I agree with you.
Not that everything was great way back when because it wasn't. I was born in the 50's and grew up in the 60's. The Civil Rights movement needed to happen, women needed to vote, shit like that.
What has gotten out of hand is all this political correctness and not wanting to offend anybody.
**** that. It's not Happy Holidays, it's Merry Christmas.
People who believe in Jesus Christ don't get offended when Jews celebrate Hanukkah.
I think it all started to go to hell when the term African-American was implemented.
I don't know any of my friends who are black that came from Africa nor do they ever want to go.
It's Christmas, it's Easter.
It's America and you're allowed to celebrate in your own way but don't ruin time honored traditions that have been in place for centuries.
