Thx Z,
One of the motivations behind my query is an old guy at a dog park I visit. He’s well into his 80’s and is a Trumpian.
As you may have guessed, I hold no love for Mr. 45 and have difficulty understanding individuals who support him; however, the Dog Park is open to all and I have to mind my manners.
One day he used the word Colored when asking me about the church I go to. I had to let him know the term was no longer considered appropriate and that’s when he tossed the NAACP name into the conversation. Not having a come-back I had to concede his point.
I prefer to use black instead of African American just because AA isn’t a term that is accurate. Someone doesn’t change their race when they move to Canada or England.
But that opinion comes from me: Mr. Whitey McWhiteyson so what the hell do I know.
