Wow. That is a very legitimate question by a child. Teacher could have used that as a teaching moment for all kids with an answer such as "The word Negro used to be used a long time ago to describe people who blah blah blah. We don't really use that word anymore. Instead the proper word to use is African American"

I thought Person/People of Color was the new vogue term.

Or Black.

Since African-American is really a misnomer. Since Africa is a continent and has people of every race.

I have an opinion that you might not be a numbnuts. While claiming a championship that your crappy team never won weakens my argument, your recent post helps my argument.

Tell Steve (hic) the next round's on me.
