Stanley Crouch is black, I looked at his picture. I wondered how he could get away with using the word "Negro."

I think, by using the term Negro, which is a definitive term of race, he is acknowledging the recent emphasis on race, as opposed to country/continent of origin.

My opinion is that it's a poke in the eye to those who don't want to recognize that MLK's dream of content of character is still supplanted by a focus on color of skin.
