    Army says word 'Negro' OK to use



    A newly published U.S. Army regulation says a service member can be referred to as a "Negro" when describing "black or African American" personnel. The Army confirmed the language is contained in the October 22 "Army Command Policy," known as regulation AR 600-20. The regulation is periodically updated but the Army could not say how recently the word was added to the document.

    In a lengthy section of the document describing "race and ethnic code definitions," the regulation states under the category "Black or African American" that would include, "A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa. Terms such as "Haitian" or "Negro" can be used in addition to "Black" or "African American".

    nigg er is like a bad word ( like you saying you lower than me)
    nigga is slang between blacks

    Just to be safe people that not black should not use the words

            Negro merely means black, not offensive in anyway.

              Negro usage shows the Army has some old geezers working in the manuals-'updating' section. 'Negro' should not be used nor 'Haitian'; 'Negro' in the military terminology was used one hundred years ago to describe the racially segregated black combat units from the US Buffalo soldiers times to WW1 through to WW2.

              Get with the New Age please US Army. Use proper modern references not ancient racially divisive terminology. Haitian is a stupid use of the word too; Haitians can be actually many different races. This is a case of ignorance of people who should be smarter Americans at their job inexcusably trying to spread their stupidity to others under the pretext of 'it's ok to be stupid like me - because I'm paid to make it ok!"

                The United States Census Bureau announced that "Negro" would be included on the 2010 United States Census, alongside "Black" and "African-American", because some older black Americans still self-identify with the term.[9][10][11]

                    You watch too much FOX News. 'Negro' may not be overly offensive to many English speaking Blacks but to most it is somewhat offensive to touchy - even if they know the user must likely be 80 years or older. I'm not sure who you think you are to leap out with the statement it is "not offensive in any way" lol..... speak for yourself.

                      It's an outdated term is the point. I'm proud to be a geezer, but that doesn't mean 'geezer' can be used in official modern terminology related to older folks. Maybe it's a case of the officially-used outdated term not bothering just a few people at all.

                              Point is that if I say "white" is offensive it does not make it offensive. Some tool "invented" that "negro" was offensive and some sheep followed. Does not mean it is true.

                              Of course it can be used in an offensive way, just as any word, but it is not offensive term out of itself.

                                It's a tradition with negroes to be offended by what they once insisted on being called.

                                colored...OFFENSIVE! call us Negroes
                                negroes...OFFENSIVE! call us Black
                                black...OFFENSIVE! call us African-Americans
                                Unvaxxed, still alive.

                                          "Sup Negro?" just doesn't sound hip enough for me.

                                              Good to know niggas. Although we had just one black guy in the army and he even wasn't that black, more like a tad tanned.

                                              But what would Congo's army think about this?

                                                When I was in the Marines everyone was "green". Some of us were "light green" and some of us were "dark green".

                                                No matter what though.... The blood always runs red.

'Negro' should not be used nor 'Haitian'; 'Negro' in the military terminology was used one hundred years ago to describe the racially segregated black combat units from the US Buffalo soldiers times to WW1 through to WW2.

                                                    Get with the New Age please US Army. Use proper modern references not ancient racially divisive terminology. Haitian is a stupid use of the word too; Haitians can be actually many different races. This is a case of ignorance of people who should be smarter Americans at their job inexcusably trying to spread their stupidity to others under the pretext of 'it's ok to be stupid like me - because I'm paid to make it ok!"
                                                    the amount of nonsense in this one post is astounding!

                                                      Of course it can be used in an offensive way, just as any word, but it is not offensive term out of itself.
                                                      I'm about as anti-PC as it gets myself. i just don't get so angry about it that I feel the need to insult other peoples race every single chance i get like you do--full time now it seems.

                                                            Somebody, somewhere, is going to get upset no matter what term you use. Some light-skinned people will take offense to being called "black," and African-American only applies to Americans of African descent, which besides making supposition about a persons ancestry isn't really a description of race at all. After all, Charlize Theron and Sharlto Copley are technically African-Americans.

If you are white, you have Neanderthal DNA in you. Around 20% of Neanderthal's DNA is distributed among whites. Each white has 1% to 4% Neanderthal DNA. The Neanderthal DNA is not present in the blood of Africans.

                                                                                      If you want to know the source of certain differences between whites/asians and blacks, this is likely where you start looking.

                                                                                        If i came direct from Africa i would not mind be calling African american, you dont call white Americans from africa African American do you?

                                                                                          In Spanish, the word black is "negro".

                                                                                          Black cat? Gato negro. Black car? Coche negro. Black men? Hombres negros.

                                                                                          Maybe the Spanish Language Committee should get together and change the word to something less offensive in other languages...

                                                                                                Negroid/Negro is a scientific construct and a legal construct. Black is a socio-political construct. Nig.ger is a moral construct (or rather an immoral construct, lol). African American? Socio-political. You need to reason what the word's purpose is and then choose what construct suits that purpose. You would use Negroid/Negro on a Census form but not at a dinner table when discussing the neighbors. Language? We experience language.
