Not sure I understand what the problem is? I hate being classified as black or African American. I do not look like the color in the crayon box and I am not from Africa.

The problem is closed minded people!

Are you saying you don't mind being called a Negro?

My husband's grandmother (who is black) uses the word negro and colored all the time. Of course she is 84, so those are the words she grew up with.

The person who used this word is in their 40's. From what I have read on the boards.

**tommyjo** · 05-27-2003, 08:56 AM

Just wonder why people feel the need to classify anyone, anywhere, anyhow??
