Subject: RE: BS: Political Correctness
So what is wrong with "Black?" That is the descriptive term of choice demanded by Stokley Carmichael, Jessie Jackson, et al, back in the 60s as replacement for Negro, if I remember correctly. Would a history of the Black Panthers now be non PC because it uses the groups own name?
Dave the Gnome is right about PC being self defeating. He may also be right about the French!
