Was doing a ride-along with the local police department a while ago; when he pulled up a motorists’ drivers license it said “African-American”. (For white drivers, it says “white”.) I asked what’s wrong with “Black”? “We’ve had complaints that it’s racist.”

Jeez, some people need a life.

The US should immediately build more mental asylums. Places to put these LIB lunatics are hard to come by now.

Negro is the correct scientific term for a person of the Negroid race.

I had a black lab named Sambo. And nobody cared.

Nobody cared (past tense) about the dog's name in the movie The Dam Busters...

It may be a term not greatly used today, but it is a legetimate scientific term. These are the same idiots that call any black, regardless of nationality, “African-American”. And the story has nothing to do with race. Just another sjw wannabe looking for their 15 minutes of being offended.

Change it to Schwarzenegger.

She essentially named her dog *Blackie* and now she’s probably getting death threats over it.

This is just ridiculous.

@rebeca_macias18 negro is missing

I have to laugh if she went around the neighborhood calling her dog!

Pelo negro in Spanish means black hair. Negro as used in English designates a black person. Close enough for me.

And Negro Modelo mexican beer.

I see where a remake of that film has been in the works for years. Never completed.

They renamed the dog “Digger” for the ill-fated remake.

Well, I’m not happy with the Catholics of late. Amoris Latitia, indeed.

And Negro Modelo mexican beer.

Which is actually delightful shade of brown.

[Dr. Ursus]

And very good!

Negro is the correct scientific term for a person of the Negroid race.

Sanity for the day. And was the polite description in a time of common use of the derogatory word.

[M Kehoe]

Well, got to get rid of “Negroid” too.

It is NOT allowed, to use the word “negro” at www.gopbriefingroom.com

Invar demonstrates that you can still call Trump’s supporters Nazis however, over there
