“Negro” is to black what “Caucasian” is to white.

Interesting that I never saw Caucasian as a racist remark.

That’s racist against Hispanics or something, I’m quite certain of it.

“Negro” is Spanish for black.

So what are they going to do with the 100’s of thousands of Birth Certificates that rightfully document the race as it really is?!?

Just wait, someone is gonna get all huffy and try to change the name of Negro Mountain. If that has to happen, let me be the first to recommend it be changed to Redskins Mountain.

“It’s now very common to hear people say, ‘I’m rather offended by that.’ As if that gives them certain rights. It’s actually nothing more... than a whine. ‘I find that offensive.’ It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. ‘I am offended by that.’ Well, so f—king what.” -S. Fry

I would like colors removed entirely. I am offended by being called white. I even saw an official USFS environmental analysis that referred to pre-European settlement as “before the white man came.” I was offended by the bias of the author and sent a comment in to that effect.

If blacks want to be called black fine, but stop identifying me as “white.”

It's sick! Negro or colored are better terms than black (which has negative connotations) or African American (which is a stupid Jesse Jackson term that is not accurate as people such as Colin Powell do not come from Africa).

This pc nonsense is destroying our language and our country. The lib/commies cannot cover up reality with their collectivist policies so they destroy our language instead as language serves as a description of reality. If one cannot speak properly or accurately, one cannot point out the evil that the Alinsky devil worshiping types have wrought.

The instant that military nomenclature of “Negro”, one each, was announced as being approved, which was just a few days ago, it was destined for the memory hole of political correctness. Surprising it lasted this long.

What is the point of skin color determination in the military anyway?

I have never thought honestly that the word, “negro” was

offensive, just reading through history books. Maybe, I am too young to understand. I always address my elders as, Mr. and Mrs / Ms. not hey, you (no matter of the race).
