From the Paper:

"These definitions help to uncover why White America's have actively sought to hate others on the basis of skin color. America was built on the backs of Black slaves with their labor, their blood, sweat and tears. Black women nursed and raised white children and were expected to provide for their master better than they could provide for themselves and their families. Black slaves were captured in Africa and made to endure a long trip to America in inhumane conditions. It is said that more people died in the slave trade than during the holocaust. Blacks were sold to the highest bidder on auction blocks like animals and then doomed to a life of torment, toil and pain. Black women were raped. Black men beaten and their children were sold and taken away from them without notice anytime."
