I got off the bus at "black." Yes, I know, they're not exactly "black." And I'm even less "white." But we know what we mean.
If hyphens are insisted on, then I want a few, too. But I think we're a 'way too hyphenated society.

I think one problem may be that us "white" Southerners get in trouble when we try to say "Negro". It's liable to come out wrong no matter how we try, even if no offense is intended. By the way, in print, newspapers and even respected fiction, that word was never capitalized until fairly recent times as I recall, indicating that it was more of an adjective than a nationality.
