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

Nope, no slapdown or anything like it. I just meant it to show that there is a disconnect between what blacks say is demeaning and/or insulting and the words that they actually use ... similar to the use of the "N"-word for rappers.

I said in my first response, that the word 'negro' has been out of favor among blacks for over half a century. Just because some decrepit old liberal org still uses it in their name, means nothing.

I'm merely letting you know how most blacks view that term today.
