Dare I say, Sabrina, that it would appear that either you don't know all that much about recent American history or that you're simply oblivious to real life.

The civil rights movement as in the United States, as we know it, didn't actually begin until a little over 50 years ago. Now granted, slavery had been abolished here at that point for almost a century but life sucked out loud for minorities, particulary black people. Ever hear of a fuckin' Jim Crow Law, sister?

Taking into account that Jim Crow laws (segregated schools, public transport, public buildings, restrooms, etc.) weren't made unconstituional until 14 years before I was born, somehow I can see how people might be a little bitter, ya know? Essentially, we're only about 2 generations removed from openly government sponsored racism and frankly, that's just not enough time for wounds to heal completely for both blacks and whites. Frankly, it's embarrassing after all of our bravado about the land of the free, liberty and justice for all, and that all men are created equal.

So yeah, seriously. Come off it.
