Makes me feel safe as a black female living in America, just safe...........S & F, OP.

First of all, I don't really get the name n-wordhead but whatever. I don't think that having a piece of property with the offensive word on it is necessarily indicative of being a racist.

I could have sworn you said you lived in another country. I even remember you using the *gasp* metric system.

I used to, I'm ready to go back. I never heard # like this when I was in Wales, never in my life. The thing about the N-word is what I get the meaning of was some slave term. In America, people are bold enough to come up to you tell you that they hate you. Disturbing, I don't understand why some Americans don't get the point that other races aren't leaving because they don't like them.

Why was that road named that to begin with? That is the million dollar question I want to know.

West Texas is a strange place. I lived there for a while when I was writing my thesis. The desert is a great place to write. People there are either really open-minded, or archaically old-fashioned. There's no middle ground.

I agree, it's not necessarily indicative of racism, but you'd think it would have bothered his family when they drove in and out of the property. But as I said, there is no real way to tell at this point, when exactly it was painted over.

Also, as a historian, I'm not sure painting over the past is the best way to move forward? A rock like that might serve as a great reminder of how far we've come.

I certainly wouldn't have it on my property, though.
