I thought I heard Trump's lawyer use the word, "Negro," but thought I must have misheard,

because I've been doing other things while the R's are talking.

And then a friend on FB just asked if she'd heard that word.

Did anyone else hear it? Do you remember what the context was?

1. He was quoting something written in the 1960's.

4. In that case, appropriate. Rev Dr King himself referred to "the Negro people" and when Malcolm X

...came along with “Black” (as in “Black is beautiful” and other phrases) it was considered shocking all around.

But then, I am old and have seen language evolve.

6. bet it wasn't

what he wanted to say...this insurrection/protection of white privilege/entitlement ameriKKKans has miffed me to no end. If hordes of brown people had done this pissed at the still racist treatment of POC in this "shining light on a hill" they would still be picking up pieces of flesh and washing the blood from the Capitol steps.

7. yeah he even kind of apologized but he used it in the context it was written in the 60s
