My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
your trolling still holds me in awe to this day.
i am sir, for lack of a better word, in awe.

Wuss.
You need to not shave for three days, wear Old Spice aftershave (the one with that coloured guy on a horse commercial), and project manliness upon entering the bar. This is done by kicking in the door upon entry, looking around with a mean look on your face for a second or two, and then and striding to the bar in the most direct line, destroying any tables, furniture and weak men that may be in the way. The lesser men will now flee the bar. Those of roughly equal size will want to measure their manliness against yours. These you will fight. You will emerge victorious. The women now consider you the alpha male. They will tend to your wounds and offer their bodies to you for impregnation with your superior seed. You get to pick one or two of your choice to take home.

Oops.
In myu defense, it was the common word for your people back when I grew up in southwest Texas in the forties.![]()
My people? Keep digging!
(In reality I take no offence. But I am not an African American, nor would someone descibe my skin color as being Black.)
It is interesting to see how words change, and how something that was acceptable one day is not only a few years later. It is even more amusing to see people who insist on judging works of the past by today's standards. As you point out, in times not so far distant, this was a common word to describe people of that heritage/skin pigmentation. While some would say it had negative undertones, and while some would use it in a condescending or negative way, others might use it completely innocently. So Tom Sawyer and To Kill a Mockingbird become racist in the eyes of some because they use language of the time, when in reality they are anything but racist in theme.
Now I am uncertain even myself...is it even still acceptable to say "Black"? It is common here in Canada, but I never know what to say to Americans...

Black is fine...
I don't drink, so at bars with my food I get unsweetened iced tea. Often in times, someone sitting near me will get a caffeine buzz and we will start to argue irratically about things, but we usually calm down when one of us squeezes the lemon wedge in the other persons direction and get juice in their eye and then they or I conceed defeat. That is usually my case anyway. I don't want to get pulled over on the way home though...
Silence is beautiful
At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
Black does appear to be the most acceptable word of use to the average black person.

Technically, we are all colored.
