Well, if they’re going to make Spanish the official language of the US military, they’re going to have to accept the word, “negro.”

Of course!
Streets + negroes* => street riots.
Breathing air => street riots.
Anything => street riots.
Everything => street riots.
* I can say that word now, right?

Negro, black, Black, colored, Afro-American, African-American, African American - why all the fuss over a name? Why not fix the problems instead? The Klan party is working hard to keep black people down, as they have for their entire history, but it would be simple to remove the government incentives that destroy black families, and that would allow them to succeed on merit rather than by whining about being victims. I’m disgusted by the racists (black and white) who profit by exploiting blacks who are being harmed so severely by liberal policies.

I refused to get on the term of the month decades ago. Maybe just old fashioned, but the original terms work just fine and are non insulting and accurate.
Caucasians have never demanded a new description every year since the 60's, so why should anyone else need it?

Liberals prefer they be called African American like African American Charlize Theron. You know, just like all white people are called "Irish American"...Oh wait...

I think anyone wouldn’t mind whatever name is used so long as it is intended to be respectful, regardless of the period of the term.
I’d be pissed if I were black and someone called me “African”. I am white and would be pissed if someone called me “Irish” or “British”, my two heritages. I am an American and neither Irish nor British are my race.

I figure if a group wants to be called a certain thing, I’m willing to make that change once in my life.
So, in the ‘70s it was a big request by the Black community: They wanted to be called “Black”.
Okay. I can do that.
Now they want to be called “African American?” I refuse. Indeed, I suspect they want the change because their collective behavior has been so bad they left a stink on “Black.”
Kinda like “Liberal” and now “Progressive”. I’m waiting for their next branding exercise since 0bama has put such a stink on “Progressive.”

Negro is not a bad word. Whoever says it is is a racist.

Can somebody remind us again... why is the word BLACK acceptable but not NEGRO ( which means BLACK in Spanish )?
