Important Y/A's question about semantics (wording)?

That has happened to me, too, and I was extremely surprised. When I grew up, "black" was slang and rude, while the word you cite was still the most polite term of reference to those of the ******* race. (Let's see if it lets a technical anthropological term for that race through. If it does, you can use it.) If all else fails, you might be able to call them the NBlack Leagues. Do you think that would work?
