Just to add on to what alansmithee has said, you can't enslave a people for over a hundred years, openly discriminate against them for another hundred, and then expect them to just "get over it" in a matter of just 40 years all by themselves. It's not enough to just remember these events as something that were committed by other people long ago. Their effects still carry on today and racism still exists, though it often takes something like Nagin's speech to bring it out into the open.
