Re: Is there a Black psychology problem…?

The original word was "Negro" and if you look it up, it originally meant "Black". A person of a Negroid race is black, by definition of that word.
All of the "street slang" variations of that word are big trouble these days. I could wish the Hip Hop artists stop using it, since they popularize the words within their community, but they don't, can't or won't-- take your pick.
In any case, let you or me-- non-African American people-- say those words where African American people or those of a liberal mindset can hear you say it, and expect at least to be told not to talk like that if you don't want to be the center of civil strife yourself. Yeah, it's considered racist-- big time racist.
