So, “coloreds”?...

[Sirius Lee]

Even the darkest Africans I’ve see just look dark brown to me. Most just look medium brown. Why is “Black” okay when it’s not even an accurate description?

[Sacajaweau]

Why not medium brown, dark brown or light brown or umber, burnt sienna, etc etc.

The entire PC thing is stupid and the government is the chief jerk.

Nigras
?

[Vermont Lt]

How about calling them by their names?

[Fresh Wind]

If they demand that “Black” must be capitalized, then I demand that “White” must also be capitalized.

[DEPcom]

I was told using “black” was racist. How about using “Offended People”

[cuban leaf]

I reverted to the word, “negro” about 9 years ago.

[Mark17]

When did “other” become a verb? I remember when we got harfed by Marie Harf, and Psakied by Jen Psakie. Now, we are guilty of “othering.” It’s best to stay out of this worthless school.

By the way, how do they know “African American,” offends them? Did they ask all of them?

[ChronicMA]

Perhaps the term to be determined students should come up with their own preferred term.

While the term to be determined students take their time to decide the issue, I will be over here listening to the music of the artist formerly known as Prince.

[gathersnomoss]

Fine. Do “as they say” on Blazing Saddles.

[NonValueAdded]

So what is the new term? I didn’t get that memo.

[bert]

America has a problem with just plain Africans

Africanization is rotting the city states

[rightwingintelligentsia]

I think it’s the “American” part the Left is offended by.

[rbg81]

If memory serves, society transitioned to AA in the late 1980s because the term “Black” was offensive and/or undignified.

Note that the term White and Caucasian was always acceptable to use.

[sevinufnine]

Let’s just all call one another “hey you!”

[albie]

“Black” is also deemed offensive so what of Black History Month or BET? “Negro” is BEYOND offensive to liberals so what about the UNCF? The stupidity and absurdity of liberalism knows no bounds.

[Salman]

"African American" is not a race. It is a marker of nationality, analogous to "Italian American" and the like. Whereas "Black" (note the capital 'B') is a "race".

The left is anti-nationalist as always but has repudiated class struggle rhetoric. All is race now.

Of course it's still really about class struggle, but on the side of the existing ruling class. Who are financing (and enforcing) this "racial" movement.

Clown world. Leftists are all about race and blood feud mentality. As it might be in the less enlightened parts of medieval Europe.

But talk about class struggle from a worker's point of view and you are an extreme right winger.

[metmom]

You had to know that was coming some day.

[I want the USA back]

I would be happy if all forms of racial labeling were eliminated, but that isn’t going to happen. There will be a new one in the place of this one, and anybody who uses the old one will be called racist.
