so I looked up the dragging death of James Byrd Jr. and became so devastated (this was only ten yrs ago)anyway wikipedia had this to say:
"Some advocacy groups, such as the NAACP National Voter Fund, made an issue of this case during George W. Bush's presidential campaign in 2000. They accused him of implicit racism, since as governor, he opposed special hate crime legislation and, citing a prior commitment, Bush declined to appear at Byrd's funeral. Because two of the three murderers were sentenced to death and the third to a life term in prison (all charged with and convicted of capital murder, the highest felony level in Texas), Governor Bush maintained that "we don't need tougher laws."
After Governor Rick Perry inherited the rest of George W. Bush's unexpired term, the 77th Texas Legislature passed the James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Act on May 11, 2001."
This enrages me!!! And to think some idiots voted this man as President twice and he has been in office for 8 years!!! ridiculous I HATE Pres Bush!! I'll be the happiest American in the nation on Jan. 20, 2009.

Leroy,
Maybe Africa wouldn't be in the deplorable condition that it is today if slavery would have never happen. It lost its most precious resource, its people, through the despicable institution of slavery and being exploited and ruined by European colonization.
