What’s the big deal? Expel Her for being too immature for higher education.
Had a Caucasian history professor in the mid-70s who got attacked for using the word niggardly in class. I still use Negro and Negress and refuse to use the term black to describe people who are not black, nor to use the term white to describe me and others who are not white.
Maybe someone should ax the retard if she’d ever use a dictionary before. Ax her to look up “choodren” for children, “jewwry” for jewelry, “poh’-leese” for police, etc.
Dr. Martin Luther King said “Negro” back then along with everyone else.
Does the objecting student want to rescind the King holiday because Dr. King said “Negro”.
The 60’s is when black’s shed the terms “negro” and “colored” in preference to “black”.
The slogan was “I’m black and I’m proud.”
That chant is why many whites resisted the change and continued to use “negro” and “colored.”
In my experience living in the south at the time anyway.
You don't understand.
At American universities today, it is the students who have the power to fail the professor.
Oh yes, and “Afro-American.”
Since when does a student get to “explain” anything to a professor? Is she a member of the Red Guard?
My son’s baseball collection is in my office and several players played for the Negro League including Aaron, Mays, Irvine and Dandridge. There is a Negro Baseball Museum in Kansas City and people will cringe when it’s mentioned!! It’s still a crime IMHO that Buck O’Neil was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
It is amazing that things in the 50’s that seemed so normal that nobody gave them a thought (at least as kids) are now such a source of distress to so many.
Eenie Meenie Minie Moe .......
It wasn’t a tiger we caught by the toe. But nobody gave it a thought.
Latin....Niger....black
..they could change it to...TGIHDMRAVB4JTKSVC but then the
Black caucus would have to ad more
seats
You are correct....Spanish for black
Having a number of friends & colleagues from Africa, I avoid "African American" as it is inaccurate.
?? In my neighborhood, the word Schwatzer was used. Oy, they changed it?
Dearest maria: you are a weak-minded moron. Maybe you should self-commit to a mental institution and allow someone who is worthy of an education take your place???
Today’s universities appear to be populated by a large majority of students who really are not qualified for college.
Even for journalism and education degrees. (Nope, it’s not a sentence, but then again, those dopes wouldn’t know a sentence if it hit them in their asexual bods.
The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.
We picked her up at the airport and on the drive back home, my soon-to-be-mother-in-law, blurted out the question, "You have many n*iggers around here?"
I about wrecked the car when she said it but realized this woman had been raised in the South her whole life and that is how blacks were referred to when she was growing up.
My wife told her it would be wise not to use the term again in public. And she never did after that, at least not in our presence. She fell back into using the other most common way to refer to blacks when she was growing up....negroes.
At age 89, she has not changed and still uses that term to this day. It was the culture, not her prejudice, that selected the terms for her to use.
There was no such thing as politically correct speech in the her day growing up in the Deep South.
The Latin word for “shiny black” is nigre, or nigra.
The proper name for the race is “Negroid”.
