[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 151261, member: 3626"] I have attended segregated schools. I've seen segregation in action and I hated it. Didn't undestand it but I hated it as only a child can hate. Sadly, I've even seen the body of a man lynched for dating a white woman. I've seen what horrors come from bigotry. I don't know if this woman mean it as a derogatory or bigoted term. Okay, derogatory is pretty obvious -- the kids were climbing trees on her property. However, did she mean it to be a racial term or a comment on their tree-climbing ability? The article (it was not a news report, it was an editorial) did not say. Without that knowing the answer to that simple question, we really can't judge one way or the other. [/QUOTE]
