I have a lot of friends who are African-Americans, and they are very dear to me. It is not their as to the color of their skin. It wasn't their fault that they got carried over to America from Africa (as I saw in "Roots").

Why they use those words, is beyond me. Heck, just three weeks ago, I was walking to the bus stop, when I saw one guy utter the "n" word repeatedly across the street to the sexton of my church, who was standing next to me. Man, so sad.
I don't know the guy so I can't comment on him. But if he had some experience in his life that made him that way, he may have a legit reason to be racist. I don't blanket anything like that. I have had experiences with white and black people that have colored my existence. Not to mention women. Oooh they can be crual.

Statements like that baffle me.
Our U.S. population is over 300 million, with about 15% of that being black.
That's 45 million black people.
What "legit reason" based on "some experience" can justify classifying 45 million people irrevocably negatively?

Especially when any "experience" was probably with only one or a few of that 45 million?

Yeah. You do Blanche.
When you blindly proclaim that gays think a certain way, DESPITE what gay people tell you, you ARE blanketing gays.

Being raped, having a black man put a gun to your head, being cheated or having any of the above happen to a loved one. As a person NOT of color, it would be easy for a white person to be changed for life and never HAVE to deal with a black person on a personal level. It would be very easy for that to occur.
I know black people that have an INSANE amount of animosity toward white people. But it is much more difficult for a black person to go through life avoiding white people.

Especially when any "experience" was probably with only one or a few of that 45 million?

The human psyche is a puzzle that scientists still haven't unlocked. For example, right before I met my wife, I had "sworn off" women with kids. Wasn't gonna go there anymore. That's just as prejudicial.

Elaborate.
