"Perhaps you're not aware of it, but we blacks view that term as 'the softer N word'. It's been out of favor for over half a century."

As long as that applies to the "United Negro College Fund" as well ...

Was that meant as a slapdown or something? I hope not.

I have no control over what that organization calls itself, nor do I care. It's their choice to continue using a label that most blacks find mildly insulting.

For the record, I'm not a racist or a racialist, but I am a realist and a conservative. I've known all my life that pigment is only skin deep. It's only as important as you make it. That's how I was raised, and it's how I've lived my life.
