so, about that thread. wow.
i was writing a reply to Arc Cristelle before it got locked and I wanted to post it somewhere, because I feel like my view on the word negro might honestly be incorrect or at least, not entirely informed.
growing up in suburban middle-class white America, I was taught (largely by passive absorption of historical literature/history) that the word 'negro' is heavily associated with pre-20th century America, specifically in relation to the slave trade. it just always seemed like an off-limits or at least, completely archaic word to use when describing or referring to black people. i understand the word still exists in modern usage via things like the NAACP or the UNCF, but those specific instances were never addressed in anyway. it was my (apparently incorrect) assumption that their inclusion was an anachronism.
it isn't a word i want to use, or think that i have any reason (or right) to, but i can understand the kneejerk reaction of "oh my god he just said 'negro'!" based on what i wrote above.
but yeah, that thread was rapidly heading into a bad place.

I just snapped this off my FB feed.
The girl who posted this is white.
They live in a part of Pennsylvania where there are no major cities in a 100 mile radius, about 2 street lights, and no black people.
They don't
They do however, modernize the English
I use the Hamlet and Macbeth versions of them when teaching to help the er, dumber kids get the story.
That thread is one of those instances where you have to remember that by default, everyone on this forum is a white male until revealed not to be. So many of the responses were people thinking the OP was white using the word, in addition to what you're saying in your post in regards to other ethnic groups using that word.
As for the word, to the black community in the US, negro has the same rules as nigga, it's just older and not used as much by younger generations so that's double the reason why GAF didn't know how to handle it.
