Is this a joke? President Trump is now using the term that was made up by Jessie Jackson to divide us even more? If true, disappointing.

Most black people I know refer to themselves as “Black”.
They’re not African.

When I was growing up I was taught the correct term was Negro, and that Negro was capitalized.

So who the heck decides these issues anyway? Jesse Jackson? Common usage? Who decided that “colored” was insulting but that “people of color” is acceptable? Why did the word “Negro” go away. I don’t remember anyone making an announcement that it was no longer OK to say.

Oh stop. This is great. Trump takes their PC name of choice for blacks and renames the entire month. This guy is playing chess at a grand master level.

Art of the Deal. Give something that means nothing, take something that means everything.

Who gives a crap! This is so minor as to be at the minutia level.
