I’ve never heard a white person say the word negro. I’ve heard many many black people say it. Same with the N word.
Double standards are fun.
Negro - short for Negroid.
Negroid (also known as Congoid[1]) is a term that is used by some forensic and physical anthropologists to refer to individuals and populations that share certain morphological and skeletal traits that are generally associated with Black African ancestry.[2][3] The term is commonly associated with notions of racial typology which are disputed by a majority of anthropologists.[4] For modern usage it is generally associated with racial notions, and is discouraged, as it is potentially offensive.[5]
“Potentially offensive”...and just why is that again? Sorry, but that one flew over my head.
This is all too much.
A BLACK women who works as a teacher calls BLACK children NEGRO, which is BLACK IN SPANISH and a perfectly legitimate description of Black People, is fired for that, but a teacher who can’t teach and is drunk on the job is put on paid leave for YEARS.
A BRITHISH official calls a black golfer colored and is forced to apologize? What is the British guy supposed to call a Nigerian Black? African African? African American from Nigeria, Africa? Dark Continent inhabitant? An African who had ancestors that could run faster than the Africans who sold other Africans to the slave trade?
Please, we all could use a decoder ring or manual on proper names for Negro’s, I mean Colored, I mean Black, oops African Americans.....Perhaps the HNIC O’Bumbler could get his Butt Boy Eric Holder to write a new language that is acceptable to keep us nasty tax paying White Devils in line.
These ever changing monikers for colored people are confusing. Let’s use a neutral happy word from now on to describe them, like, say, “gay”. What say you?
Black is out, Colored is out, are we back to Nigger now?
This is silly beyond measure.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste. These negroes are wasted.
The story I read was that she was a Spanish teacher, teaching the colors, and negro is the Spanish word for black. When she said that, students complained.
Presumably the word “negro” is not prohibited in most Spanish language countries as it is in ours.
Negro, Negro ,Negro, Negro, Negro, Negro, Negro, Negro,.... I guess I am in trouble now.
What is bad about the words black or negro...or white for that matter? Only bigots,etc. find fault with color of ppl’s skin.
What is the correct way to refer to Vinny Del Negro?
Was it on the list of forbidden words?
