I remember when the then “Negro Community” asked that everyone change their language to “Black”.
Fair enough. I’ll call you what you want.
Now, they want “African American?” I don’t think so. You got your one shot at me for a lifetime. If ya messed up that one, I’ve go nothing else for you.
I used to chart it like this:
Colored >> Negro >> Afro-American >> African-American >> Black >> People of Color.
