Bill,

And the NeXt Tradition changed it to "heavy hipped woman" for the same PC reason. Of course, in both cases what about those bald-headed or heavy hipped women? Don't they have some PC rights, too?

I think Ken explained to me that he didn't want to have to keep explaining himself to people who might be offended by "jet black woman". The issue of shades of color runs strong in the African-American community to this day (well, at least here in Baltimore, I don't know about the whole country).
