@1tephania I think you need to re-read my post as you didn`t comprehend it. I never said anything to indicate that.

It should be 'If our forefathers would have seen this coming..'.
For a guy very concerned with linguistic purity, you aren't very good at your own language yourself.

How stupid do you have to be to think that this is how American city-dwellers speak?
You bring that language to an office in New York or LA, your career is as good as over.

@bcgeorge Actually they killed more whites in the beginning, people that were trying to abolish the class system and bring northern ideas in. They were really a southern resistance group that was trying to preserve the status quo. They became all about racial hate when the original member were incarcerated and killed, and the dumb white trash took over.

No one will hire you if you talk like this in Ebonics that is. Keep selling crack and heroin because that's the only job you can get being a dumb shit. SAD!

@countrygurlnlove2011 Also, the Black Panther Party wasn't anti-white; they were anti-police brutality, anti-racism, and other things. You see, when you're a victim of injustices, you eventually get fed up and organize to do something about it. This is why the Black Panther Party formed.
The KKK was formed the same way. They were upset that slavery ended and didn't want blacks to assimilate into society. They were the first terrorist group for all intensive purposes.

@countrygurlnlove2011 Jim Crow wasn't an actual person. It was the name given to the segregation laws that existed in the South for most of the 20th Century. Those laws barred blacks from attending the same schools, living in the same neighborhoods, and eating at the same restaurants as whites, among other things. This is the reason why there is such a divide between white and black Americans today. It's the legacy of slavery, segregation, discrimination, and other things.

@countrygurlnlove2011 Sweetheart, slavery ended in 1865 with the passage of the 13th Amendment. The Emancipation Proclamation, if that is what you're referring to with the 1863 date, did not totally end slavery, only in certain parts.
And the way people speak is a direct result of their environment. For example, if you grew up in a different region of the United States, you would speak differently than you do now. We adopt the speech patterns of those around us.
If our forefathers would have saw this coming they would have picked the damn cotton themselves.
