Then you have to fire Martin Luther King.

There was a funny comedy routine in the '60s of advisors trying to teach LBJ to say "Negro" instead of "nigra."

In the 60’s they wanted to be called Negro, I remember by told by a Negro that black was an offensive term. Colored was OK at the time. Spade, nig and jig were not allowed.
