Blacks asked to be called “Black” in the 1970s, rather than the then pervasive “Negro”.

Fair enough. I can call people what they want to be called.

Once.

“African American” is just a fresh name to escape the stink they left on “Black” with their behavior.

Liberals are not “Progressive.” Blacks are not “African American.”

Own your stink, jerks.

The acceptable designation has to change every now and then because those on the Left never understand that it is the people who are the objects of the opprobrium and that any term they use to designate themselves will have the same odor because the word is only a word and carries no value of its own. A group that lives in the Pejorative has to change its mode of living in order to lose the "ugliness" of the words used to name them.

And Liberals are not liberal. But Communist is such a harsh word.
