"Negro" will no longer be used on US Census surveys. But they can still say "nigger!" and you can't.

WASHINGTON (AP) — After more than a century, the Census Bureau
is dropping its use of the word “Negro” to describe black
Americans in surveys.

Instead of the term that came into use during the Jim Crow era
of racial segregation, census forms will use the more modern
labels “black” or “African-American”.

The change will take effect next year when the Census Bureau
distributes its annual American Community Survey to more than
3.5 million U.S. households, Nicholas Jones, chief of the
bureau’s racial statistics branch, said in an interview.

He pointed to months of public feedback and census research that
concluded few black Americans still identify with being Negro
and many view the term as “offensive and outdated.”

“This is a reflection of changing times, changing vocabularies
and changing understandings of what race means in this country,”
said Matthew Snipp, a sociology professor at Stanford
University, who writes frequently on race and ethnicity. “For
younger African-Americans, the term ‘Negro’ harkens back to the
era when African-Americans were second-class citizens in this
country.”

First used in the census in 1900, “Negro” became the most common
way of referring to black Americans through most of the early
20th century, during a time of racial inequality and
segregation. “Negro” itself had taken the place of “colored.”
Starting with the 1960s civil rights movement, black activists
began to reject the “Negro” label and came to identify
themselves as black or African-American.

Still, the term has lingered, having been used by Martin Luther
King Jr. in his speeches. It also remains in the names of some
black empowerment groups that were established before the 1960s,
such as the United Negro College Fund, now often referred to as
UNCF.

For the 2010 census, the government briefly considered dropping
the word “Negro” but ultimately decided against it, determining
that a small segment, mostly older blacks living in the South,
still identified with the term. But once census forms were
mailed and some black groups protested, Robert Groves, the
Census Bureau’s director at the time, apologized and predicted
the term would be dropped in future censuses.

When asked to mark their race, Americans are currently given a
choice of five government-defined categories in census surveys,
including one checkbox selection which is described as “black,
African Am., or Negro.” Beginning with the surveys next year,
that selection will simply say “black” or “African American.”

In the 2000 census, about 50,000 people specifically wrote in
the word Negro when asked how they wished to be identified. By
2010, unpublished census data provided to the AP show that
number had declined to roughly 36,000.

The term "African American" is not correct.
The correct term would be Melano-African

Among blacks of Africa there are four groups:
Paleo-Africans, Ethiopids, Melano-African and Black-Malagasy.

It must be living hell to be ashamed of who you are and what you look
like. No wonder Barry and Michelle can't be happy.

I don't blame the Negroes. I wouldn't admit it either. I remember Negro
girls at the EM club trying to tell sailors that they were Mexicans.

One can't help but wonder whether you are aware of the long-term,
irreparable, permanent damage that you are inflicting to the
Republican Party.

Not really - Read the Demographics. All you have is hatred, and it
will die with you.

Esteemed Mr. Tottenkopf:

On behalf of the Hispanic community I would like to express our most
sincere thanks for bringing into evidence -one more time!- that the
rejection to the members of the undocumented workforce is based on
hatred.

I am sure a thrilled DNC joins me.

Muchísimas gracias!!

Political pundits are trying to predict how long it will be between
the time Hispanics become a majority in Texas (they are already, in
Houston) and the time the GOP ceases to be a national political party.

Calling your wetbacks undocumented workers is like calling a the local
meth lab an non-licensed pharmacy.

Because the spics are all parasites. They contribute nothing but disease
and bad conduct, but expect to be given a free living. Just like Obama.
They will always vote for free stuff, and Socialism. They are not a
smart or industrious people, just because they like leaf blowers.

A wetback taking a shit in the bushes by a shopping center does more to
defeat those trends that the opinion of taxpayers who pay your way and
the way of other parasites.

Spics are self destructive. Look at Mexico, look at Cuba, look at Los
Angeles.

"There's this hilarious disconnect in the sheeple brain, where they
have been progressively brainwashed over a forty year period into
believing that once they have committed suicide themselves, an
identical civilization will be left behind except with a different
demographic makeup. They will yank the white tablecloth out from under
the dinnerware and the society will remain standing, only
melanin-enriched but otherwise the same.

It's like white people all over the planet were each taking turns
shooting themselves in the head with the same gun, convinced when they
have all killed themselves they will leave the perfect society behind.
I've got bad news for you. What you think of as civilization is joined
at the hip with the Indo-European gene pool. It's not even like oil
and water because it's all an unbroken continuum.

Culture is gene expression. If enough Mexicans inhabit any area on the
planet, that area will look exactly like Mexico in short order.

There's no piece of land on Earth that has a special gas exuded by the
local soil that makes flush toilets, clean running water, air
conditioning and the rule of law. There's no geographic location that
has these properties inherently. Irregardless of whether they are
bright enough to see it and understand why, whites tend to terraform
their surroundings to reflect what is inside them. Everything they
take for granted as the human standard, is in fact a projection of
their own qualities out onto a world that by and large is completely
indifferent to them.

America has already slipped past the demographic failsafe point. There
ain't no going back. Just like the nation formerly known as Rhodesia,
you will hear all sorts of yammering and analysis and whining but
nothing can stop Rhodesia from becoming Zimbabwe once all the
Rhodesians leave. It's a done deal.

There's no legislation. There's no emergency action committee. There's
no orchestrated government reform program. There's no mission
statement. There's no declaration of goals or judicial decision. Once
you change the genetic composition of a country, that country will
come to reflect it's demographics, not the other way around.
I went to high school in Chicago. Trust me, thirty years ago it didn't
look like the background of that news report. That was back when
Chicago schools were the best in the country and had some of the
highest scholastic scores in the nation. Back then, next to nobody
dropped out, ever.

You can't keep the street lights working with only half a nation of
high school graduates. You can't find the manpower to keep the ATM
machines running, to keep the power plant maintained at the dam, to
keep the nuclear reactor running. You can't have good medical care
with no good doctors. You can't have bridges that don't collapse with
no engineers.

America is just like Rhodesia during desegregation. All those
Rhodesians who talked about the coming era of rainbow folk dancing and
singing hand-in-hand with their African friends playing little
ukeleles, where are they now? The wind howls. Tumbleweeds blow past.
Two rabid wild dogs fight over a human ribcage in the streets where
the electricity went off a decade ago and has never come back on.
Where are all those Rhodesians looking forward to an era of peace and
harmony now? Where are they? Answer me. Raped and left for dead.
They're all wormfood now. Their farms burned to the ground, their
children strangled, their wives gangraped and forced to run naked
screaming with burning tire necklaces.

Fools. Dust in the wind. Shot in the back of the head and left for the
buzzards in some ditch on the veldt long ago.

It doesn't matter if I'm the only human being out of six billion on
the planet who knows this. Irregardless of the forcible consensus,
this is the way it will come to pass. I will be demonstrated right and
they will turn out to have been catastrophically wrong. Wishing
otherwise never makes anything so.

In another ten years, Amerikwa will be utterly unrecognizable. I
predict that the first thing that will hit you no matter where you get
off a plane in that country will be the smell. Watch and see."
