It was blacks themselves who wanted to be called black. They didn't like the N-word for some reason (even though they call each other that), so people started calling them "colored". Then they didn't like the term "colored" and wanted to be called "black". They've switched things up so many times that my grandma has problems talking about them because she can never remember the current word to use.
I really don’t like getting in on this, because race to me does not matter! But I too get very sick of… I’m black, I’m colored , I’m purple, I’m afro American, WHAT IS IT THIS WEEK?
I could show you a family will from the 1700’s in Virginia. That speaks very, very highly of slaves, and wanting them to go to righteous people after my ggggggggreat grand father died! I think half the bullsh#t feed to blacks is crap, and it is all part of the progressive movement! I would like to add, there were a hell of lot of slaves that were not black!
Get over it, get a job, and earn your keep!
