I highly doubt that usage is common in this day and age. Even in Kentucky.
I went from colored to black to african american, all in my lifetime. I am now just a cantankerous 65 year old. I just call them negroes.
We've had a long conversation here, and I've explained to you multiple times, that blacks consider the term, 'negro' to be outmoded and offensive. I'm not sure why you can't just call us 'black', which is perfectly acceptable, much as 'white' is for caucasians.
That you insist upon referring to us by a label that we blacks find offensive, and that we rejected over half a century ago, says only one thing - it's your intention to insult us.
By the way. I'm a cantankerous 65 year old myself. That doesn't give me license to insult others.

Why is it offensive to you?
Why does it matter?
You can call whites anything you want and it doesn’t offend me.
Frankly, I don’t get it.

Thank You my friend.
