Why don't the Jehovah's Witnesses pay respect to the person who died?

Well I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly but just to give a broad answer, not every Jehovah's Witness is the same. We all have our own opinions and feel more strongly or less strongly about something then others.
Generally everyone who claims to be a Jehovah's Witness knows how to respect fellow human beings. Sometimes though, there are people who dont want to. I've never met any but mostly we all pay respect.
I would think that most Witnesses will and do pay respect to the person who died. The funeral talk discourse, as provided by The Watchtower, given at a Kingdom Hall has the following notes attached;
''Instead of eulogizing the deceased, use the material in this outline to give a fine witness concerning the truth. Good balance should be observed in this regard.''

Have the jehovahs witnesses always believed that jesus died on a stake as opposed to a cross?
No, according to the publication "Jehovah's Witnesses Porclaimers of God's kingdom" pub. 1993 p. 200:"For years, Bible Students wore a cross and crown as a badge of identification, and this symbol was on the front cover of the "Watch Tower" from 1891 to 1931. But in 1928 it was emphasized that not a decorative symbol but one's activity as a witness showed he was a Christian. In 1936 it was pointed out that the evidence indicates that Christ died on a stake, not a two-beamed cross."

Were black people able to be Jehovahs Witnesses in the 1900s -?
Yes.Very much so. 1 Peter chapter 1 verse 17 says; " Furthermore, if you are calling upon the father who judges impartially. according to each one's worl\k, conduct yourselves with fear in the time of your alien residence." Notice God judges impartially, so to do Witnesses. They believe that Jesus died for all men, so all men have a chance for everlasting life. In the History book "Proclaimers" , one of the most famous Jehovah's Witnesses was a person affectionately known as "Bible Brown" . He had very dark skin. There are many in very senior positions such as Governing Body, District Overseers and Branch Committee members.
