Negro=N word

 

[Lexx Diamond]

Negro means Black. In the context of people it means Black property whether mentally or physically. Us so called Black people are all Africans. For a time it seemed like folks were going to leave phrases like Black and Negro alone for African American yet that doesn't seem to be the case for the masses in the 21st century thus far. When us so called Negros/Blacks start to acknowledge that we are Africans boarn abroad there won't be any need for others to argue and thus upgrade our sociopolitical and economic labels. We will do it ourselves and be respectfully address as Africans in lieu of Blacks/Negros.

Words have power,words can built something up or topple it down,words can be positive or negative.

With that being said it depends on why,where and who it's being used by.Negro,doesn't really fit for characterizing us today as it did 60+ years ago I couldn't tell you the last time or place I've heard someone even use that term.So there's nothing wrong with it I guess but it boils down to why,where and who.

according to malcolm x, 'negro' implies 'necro' as in 'dead'.

the american negro, who was created by the white man, is a dead race of beings.
