    Negro is not the n-word.

    Is it offensive for non-Black people to call us that now? Yes.

    Is it the same level as the actual n-word slur? No.

      Especially when the black power movement came into the political consciousness. “Negro” is more of an outdated term than anything.

    WOW. Fascinating to see them naming the victims of lynchings, etc. it reads as an honest appeal to reason instead of a cynical ploy to sow division among the troops

    I don’t see the N-word anywhere in here. Did I miss something?
