RE: Bundy used the Negro instead of blacks.

OK, educate me here... what exactly is wrong with the word - NEGRO?

It is the Spanish word for BLACK.

The Latin word is NIGRUM.

The Italian word is NERO.

The Romanian word is NEGRUM.

Notice they are all Romance languages and many English words derive from them.

Many places have the word — NEGRO attached to them.

In the Philippines, there are two provinces - NEGROS ORIENTAL and NEGROS OCCIDENTAL.

So, what the heck is wrong with the word — NEGRO? it simply means black...

Why is there a country in Africa labeled “Nigeria”?

Considering Bundy is an elderly man ‘negro’ is the term he would have grown up hearing. And you’re right it’s derived from the Latin adjective for black- ‘niger, nigra, nigrum ‘

Nothing wrong with the word. What I meant was the idiots jumped on his use of the word Negro instead of one of PC words like blacks. I use the word as needed.

United NEGRO College Fund

Negro is much more accurate of a racial term than African American. There are millions upon millions of Africans that are white and Arab.

The United Negro College fund is dedicated to giving scholarships to Negroes and not to white or Arab African Americans.

Negro used to be the common term used in polite company. Now it is apparently some kind of racial slur.

Political correctness is going to kill all of us someday. Unless we all start to push back.

UNCF=United Negro College Fund

NAACP=National Association for the Advancement of Colored People

White People=RACCCCCISSSST!

[Fledermaus]

Exactly. But since the PC Police are out in force I’m torn on how to send a check to the United Negro College Fund. I’m afraid I’ll be arrested for writing ‘Negro’ on it.

The purpose of all this is to demonize Bundy to the extent David Koresh was demonized. To wit: The point to where the public says, "He was a kook and got what he deserved, no big loss" when the Feds swoop down and kill him and his family for "resisting arrest". Reid, his allies in the media, the Government plants, agents, and moles are working overtime on doing this. They have gone from, "he did not pay his fee[s], he is a deadbeat to he is a racists. next will be that he sexually molested his children and grandchildren and has child porn on his computer. And if that fails to get the expected response, he has a meth lab and bomb making materials on his ranch.

At this point in time, anything Mr. Bundy does or says will be wrong. He can say ,"The sky is blue" and every talking head in the msm, the Hannditys and other talk show hosts of his ilk, the Government plants, agents, and moles on this forum will tear into him for saying it. He could donate both kidneys for organ transplants to save lives and they would think up ways to demonize him for that.

There was a time when calling a black person “black” was considered insulting. I guess that the Spanish “negro” (meaning black) and the Latin term “niger” (meaning black) being combined left them fed up with the whole black thing so they decided they wanted to be called colored. Hence the “National Association for the Advancement of Colored People”. Then they decided that being called colored was insulting and decided they wanted to be called Negro again. Hence the “United Negro College Fund”. Then they decided Negro was insulting and started calling themselves black again. Hence the “Black Panthers”. Then they briefly decided they wanted to be called afro-Americans but I blame that on the 70’s. Then they decided black was ok again but started using “people of color”. I guess they thought this was better than colored, but it's splitting hair to me. Then the infamous “African-American” politically correct term took over. I guess black is the politically correct term of the day...but really can you give some older white guy in a desert a really hard time about not keeping up with what black people want to be called? If he had listened to any gangsta rap over the last decade he might have thought they wanted to be called “niggas”. Can you imagine collective apoplexy if he had used that term? Although it sure seemed ok when former KKK member Democrat senator Byrd used a familiar disparaging term for black people yet still got a 100% approval ratings from the NAACP. The outrage sure seems selective doesn't it?
