[QUOTE="pickup, post: 547944"] Okay I was joking about the African American part somewhat. Its true that no one in that group or other people refer to them as that except when the spokespeople speak for that group. Listen to any speech by today' leaders, Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton for example and they will use this term . It actually takes longer to say,more syllables, but it is the politcally correct term. I heard some talk a few years ago that there was debate with the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of COLORED People. African Americans(and I am dancing on a razor's edge here I know) used to be called in polite society, negoes, blacks, coloreds. The NAACP doesn't use these terms anymore but prefers , you guess it : African Americans. Well, the debate was had and they decided to keep the brand name they invested in over the years and didn't go with the new NAAAAA brand. Nuff said , I ain't saying anymore about this issue. [/QUOTE]
