I never understood why we have such a hard time with defining ourselves We keep coming up with new got damn terms that mean the same thing. Colored, Negro, Black, Moor, Nigga, Nigger...I mean it's the same word over and over again just different root languages. It means dark skinned.

I mean we shouldn't be so word conscious but different terms mean totally...

We're goin' into the Army?? Why don't they try "Sir" or "Mam"? We're dyin' to be called "Negro" and to protect a country that calls us "Negro" on good days and "Nigger" on bad ones?
