Oh, I've got those childhood memories too but in my family if you were caught uttering that kind of disparaging language toward black people, you would get a beating for it.

My dad had a farm and a drug store and we were with them all the time and loved them and I remember nothing but kindness from them. But now I know what was done to them, keeping them poor and subservient even with all that kindness and it's very very painful to me.
