‘Negroes”???? Does anyone use that terminology any more (particularly white folks)??? This sounds like two kids out to get teachers they didn’t like. And the response to it (IF true) is down right outrageous

Years ago when Mrs. MAExile when working for a home health care agency, she accidently used the word "Colored" when talking to a client of the African American persuasion (Her mother and grandmother used in constantly and consistently). As far as the client was concerned she may just as well of said "N**#$".

To be fair, she said the client was very difficult to the point of requesting a black nurse because she didn't want a white one in her house. Of all the people to offend...

Actually yes, and without prejudice! They are called the older folks that have grown up under a different set of (speech) rules. Happens every generation... Isn’t life great!
