It depends on the context. Negro used to be the acceptable term for black people back until like the mid 1970's. Not sure when it became derogatory.

White people are not allowed to use it. :francis: But if a really old white person called me a Negro I wouldn't get mad, again depending on context.

My theory is that cacs are wanting the word to be censored because Beyonce uses it in an empowering way.

I like my negro nose.

White people would much prefer that we didn't like our 'negro noses' or our hair or our dark skin.
