It is just programmed politically correct insanity. The correct scientific name you are looking for is Negro. Somewhere along the way some idiot thought that had a negative connotation and wanted to sound more sensitive and started calling people colored. Then “colored” people decided that was negative too and they wanted to be called “black”. Then “black” people decided that too sounded negative and demanded to be called “African” even though Africa is a continent with many races and the overwhelming majority of people in America are born here not in Africa.

How about this? How about we call each other by name identify our origins by local birth and stop worrying about race? So, I’m Resister from Tennessee and you are CigarTigher from the internet. Deal?
