Isn’t “negro” the spanish word for “black”?

Conservatives have to get over this tendency to believe that we “can all get along” if we stop “offending” others with words. The people who tell us what is ‘acceptable’ speech and what is not ‘acceptable’ speech are using their powers of persuasion to control us. We have to absorb that fact and not let their power over us continue.

Yes, and negroid is an anthropological description. Niggardly, on the other hand, has nothing at all to do with color, but some ignorant school administrators say students can’t use it because it’s offensive. Tragic that “correctness” is the exclusive province of the left...
