Good for you. I’ll be 69 this month; am a Southerner, still live in the South. - “Negro” is a fine designation which does show respect. - My Southern relatives who tried to use that word, innocently pronounced it incorrectly - & NOT maliciously. - My Daddy & his brothers & sisters lived on a farm when kids; their neighbors were Negro children who were their playmates. - I’m so sick of all this ever-changing PC stuff; I just want to withdraw into my house & stay at home & mind my own business - IF THE RABBLE ROUSERS WILL LET ME !
Not incorrectly, just southernly.
