I want to add a disclaimer before I start this...........
I am not racist, and I am not trying to be so PLEASE forgive me if something I said is offensive, I do not mean it to be.
What I want to know, is what do "Blacks'', African American's", "coloreds", etc want to be called. (Let me explain)
African American
In lieu of the n-word’s derogatory and demeaning definition, African Americans have still continued to uplift the n-word, protected it like a mother instinctively defends her newborn, and placed it high on the altar as if the idiom is something in which to be proud.
Centuries ago, the Great Commonwealth of England excommunicated those citizens considered unfit members of society and common criminals to an undeveloped, God-forsaken place. This place has since become the greatest and most powerful country in the world—the United States of America.
Language has been and remains an effective means to marginalize minorities. Consider the persistent and incessant use of the n-word, America’s swastika to the African American. The term is a discreet, deceiving form of psychological, social, and spiritual abuse; the n-word desecrates the sacred memories of hard-fighting African-American ascendants.
Community leaders all across America are now stepping up to the plate and challenging the insanity that’s been going on within the black community relative to the self-deprecation use of the n-word, and other profane words.
