RE: I haven’t heard the term “Negro” in many years. Are they reviving it?
You’re allowed to use the term.... if you yourself are black.
I Don’t understand. Negro is not and has never been a racial slur. A slur is when you intentionally mispronounce a word to make it an insult, as in the word-that-must-not-be-uttered-by-White. Negro is merely spanish for black. I heard about a hispanic person getting shadow banned on Twitter for using the word Negro. If ‘negro’ is unacceptable, why is ‘black’ acceptable? Probably won’t be. Soon we won’t be allowed to address the person of a nero, you’ll have to address their eminence or their grace or something.

I’ve heard “Magic Negro” (POSObama) used a lot here and elsewhere.
I suppose that's right, but we rarely do. Even amongst ourselves.
The term has been out of favor among blacks since the mid sixties.
