"After a while, I had to wonder........have we really made any progress with race relations?" You will always have outliers. To look at the other side, when was the last time you saw black people step off in the street and wait until they passed when a white person approached them on the sidewalk? Or refused service? When was the last time you heard about a lynching? Granted, what happened in Jasper a few years back was almost the equivalent, but it also got national attention. As far as your two examples, I'll bet money the woman from Arkansas grew up in a small, exclusively white, rural town. And it wasn't necessarily racist, when you don't deal with other races, then there is little reason to examine you attitudes and beliefs with respect to the issue. Use of the word 'nigger' isn't necessarily racist, just possibly insensitive. As far as the other one, I think she is probably being more than a little hysterical. For a locksmith to risk their bond and their livelihood just to engage in a little rape, stretches credulity. That is just irrational.
