They still have the "United Negro College Fund" so I guess Rooney is right, it is still a good word.

I think they stopped using it because too many bigots altered the word like, saying "nigra" and such.

They have recently changed it to just, "The College Fund."

On the other hand the NAA(L)CP, still doesn't have a problem with the term "colored."

They still call it that? After Richard Pryor's freebasing mishap and Michael Jackson's Pepsi Commercial, I thought it became the "Ignited Negro College Fund".

"They still have the "United Negro College Fund" so I guess Rooney is right, it is still a good word."

And the NAACP still uses "Colored People".

But as with all rules and liberals, they set them for everyone and make exceptions for themselves, but not for those they hate.

Then they tell everyone foolish enough to listen they're "inclusive" and "tolerant".

Liberalism requires living in Bizarro World, where everything has opposite meanings from reality.
