Older people grew up with the word Negro. I remember my grandma saying that there was a colored person who moved in next door who she really likes. It is not right for our generation to use the word negro because we didn't grow up with it and it takes more effort for me to say the word negro than it does to say black or african american. But older people get to use it because it is part of their world, they grew up with it, and it would take more effort for them to try and change how they talk.
There is nothing wong with calling them negros. We are called whites because we are intelligent. My great Grandmother said they had negros working on the farm and liked to be called that.
It's great to be...one word...Latino! Puerto Rican is also okay, ' cause after all, I was BORN in Puerto Rico. Puerto Rican-American? That's ridiculous and way too long. Now, why African-American? Unless you were born in Africa, it just seems absurd. But if that's what some want to be called, cool with me too. "Blacks" is what I grew up with and that's probably what I'll always use, and not trying to offend anyone, nor a derogatory hit on your skin color. American is always best!
@WP4KTF Good man. These damn retards who value some obscure attempt at ethnic identity over being an American is a cancer on the soul of this country and should be drowned in chemo juice immediately.
Negro being the modern version, in use in Spanish Italiano and Portuguese, where as niger was the latin original, thusly you have the countries Nigeria ,Niger, river Niger etc.
On the contrary Blanco means white, ironically.
Of course the historical connotation make the use of the world inappropriate.
One only wishes that African Americans themselves would stop using it and promoting, before demanding everyone else to keep it away from their mouths.
That DJ dressed as John Wayne looked like he was holding on for dear life not to let rip with a monster of a fart , he probably knew if he farted his bowel would give way and would follow through leaving a steaming runny pile of crap in his pants . But it looked like he came out of it skid free and was able to continue the show .
He's not racist, it's just his generation. My grandpa, who is 87, would refer to blacks as negros every once in a while. He also refers to any asians as chinamen. Its just the way he was raised, just like were raised to say african american.
African American, Negro, Black, Black American. I consider myself African American. But my (no deceased) Aunt, would call us "Negro". Not sure what it truly meant, but when she used it, it was to get an immediate response. "Negro go out to the car and get my cigarettes." I consider it slang, i.e. You. She didn't care what color you belonged to. So that there confused me as a kid too.
Okay, I love me some Andy Rooney, but who is he to tell Blacks what we should call ourselves? We didn't have the option of not be referring to as "niggers", but yet that's what we were called. I once had a elderly gent refer to me as a "Nigeress", did I like it hell to the NO. But because of his age, I ignored it. Ageism is no excuse for ignorance in this day and time.
@JazzyJZ52 ummmmm he's not telling blacks what to call themselves, he's discussing different terminologies for "black people" with the host. He doesn't come off as ignorant at all. You on the other hand...
I am brazilian and in portuguese, "negro" is actually the politically correct word. If you say black ("preto") it is offensive.
I think andy was pointing out that the root of this word had nothing of bad... It is the latin "niger". The country Nigeria is named after that same root.
Andy is not a racist at all, he actually fought racism...
it's the name of their race, it's like white people being offended if someone call them Caucasoid or an East Asian/American indigenous if someone call them mongoloid.
@asabovesobelow90 it is a lot more complex than that. I am sure you have met the Asian girl who looks black or the white guy who looks Asian before. human features and traits do not differentiate enough for categorization by race which is why that method was discarded.
@mamushi72sai5575 that's because of the wonderful idea of race mixing. a pure blood negro and a pure blood mongoloid have completely different facial features. Nature made beautiful different races, mankind destroyed that.
Niggra is an appropriate usage for the word negro. Well sure, folks around my parts use niggra all the time; even niggras say niggria, come arand hea.
For those who have a hard-on for using "The N-Word," and think it's clever or irreverent to type it on your keyboard, here's a rule to remember: if you can walk the path, get hassled by cops, get followed in stores, get underestimated in class by your teacher, have people walk across the street away from you at night out of fear, or have taxi cabs pass you by when you have the cash to pay, then you have the right to use "The N-Word." But if you use it casually - you're an idiot.
@cqtaylor yes, if you have the highst crime rate(hassled by cops), the highest theft rate(followed in stores), lowest avg. IQ's(underestimated in class), highest assault rates(even Jesse Jackson said he doesn't like blacks walking behind him at night), African taxi-cab drivers pass up blacks!(it's a result of their experience, not racist), you have probably earned the right to be called "The N-Word".

This is just one of those words, like "Nigger", that it's perfectly OK for them to use to describe each other...but they'll have a shit-fit if a White person uses it. It's just another racial double-standard we've unfortunately started to accept.

negro is not "a word people used to call each other way back" negro and negroid are a scientific terms used to id a specific group pf humans (caucaziod for white folk,mongoloid for asian folk). calling a person african-american assumes i know the black persons nationality,how would i know that just by looking?
@jerome445 No, using the word "Negro" didn't save Martin Luther King Jr. or Malcolm X from dying violent deaths. It was just a word they used to refer to black people, as did most people at that time.

Cause you forgot there is nothing new under the sun ,your idiots-asses done ran right into the arms of the devil himself .
This whole conversation stems from the truth that, Nelson Mandela, like other
African Blacks, feels insulted calling U.S. Blacks "African American". Kenya doesn't want US negroes back....Nigeria doesn't want them..South Africa doesn't want them...."All they do is complain about white-supremacists who started all the factories' & wealth to begin with"...and US blacks want handouts & stimulus checks from them. "African American" has never existed.
@SuperVcarroll Fu(k Nelson Mandela and all the other maggots you just mentioned if thats the case . They feel we should have some gratitude for been your house nigger and they would a better job. At the same time the devil can go there and whisper in their ear that their neighbors are cockroaches and needs to die. Done deal. So that stem of truth , will be dealt with when the Real Overseers roll back in town .
Of course you don't see anything wrong with an 'n' word variant, Andy, 'cos you're also a fascist who thinks we should all be chipped in the name of security. Go back to the bunker, you senile old nazi.
if you just wanna knock him into hospital... double like?
if you want to put him in a catapult and watch him fly in the air screaming, then smack on the ground, breaking most things in his body (yes, including his mouth)... well, unfortunately I haven't got that video >,<
What's wrong with "AMERICAN". If you were born here, went through the hoops to become a citizen here, then you are an American. If you came from somewhere else, fine. We are so diluted and divided that it's even thought to be offensive to be caled American. It's FREAKIN' rediculous.
the other day, my grandmother was talking about a haitian woman who helped her at jfk. she told me that haitians look just black people.
calling every black person in the us an "african american" is just stupid, and in many cases incorrect. there are actually many countries that have black folks.
A long time ago, "negro" was the politically correct term. Then some people turned it to "nigger", which is obviously considered racist. Then it became politically correct to say "black". But now it's racist too. Now only "African American" is a proper term. What do they call blacks in other countries? African French? African German? African Pakistani?
@semisanity there is an episoide of star trek when an alien that thinks he is abraham lincoln says my what a charming negress DWB is a police radio code for driveing while black which is racial profileing they are not suppose to do that but they do it sometimes like in the rodney king beating
nice video description. You isolate a sound segment to make a 91 year old man sound racist while simultaneously cutting it off right as he is about to make his point. Kettenring, go suck a big, fat, Mark Foley pageboy cock.
Screw P.C. My generation says black. I'll say it when I'm 90 when it's considered "racist" by then. Modern society is ridiculous. There's too much propaganda from the elite these days trying to tell us how to behave, what to think, and what to say. TV is a median for such nonsense too.
well, i don't think that the term "negro" was a pejorative, was it? I mean it's politically incorrect now, but, originally, it wasn't the same as saying "nigger" or any other racial slur i don't think. Ditto the term "colored".
If a black guy isnt American, then hes African or Haitian or Dominican. Nobody calls blacks in Brazil African Americans, so wtf are you talking about?
And of course racism goes both ways. So what? Does that mean we should allow it? Whats your point?
At any rate, the discrimination by whites toward blacks has been a lot more prominent than any other kind of racism in the US.
@HalfricanItalian So I am stupid because I pointed out that everyone can be racist.
Saying to someone 'you dance like a white girl' is racist. Calling someone a 'white boy' is racist. Everyone is from Africa, we all originated there asshole. I didn't say we should allow it, I was saying that blaming one race for everything is wrong and racist.
Andy Rooney is not a racist. Everyone, including black folks in his generation used "negro." The issue is that people give power and meaning to words, which is why "gay" no longer means happy, and why negro is now a derogatory word. So just keep in mind what words meant in the different generations.
@johnxpaulxmusic Andy Rooney needs to shut the fuck up! He also told everyone to get a chip in their body so they would be safe from the terrorists, give me a fucking brake this guy is a joke!
I'm not a fan of the term "African-American", but it's annoying to hear other white people complain about it. Very few black people still use it. It was a 90s fad.
You know your right lets not beat around the bush cracker! I bet you would never come to my old neighborhood talking that shit! Because you don't have the balls to say what you really in front of people you wish you were like. So whatever you rasist cracker motherfucker!
I prefer the one syllable word black. Negro is my second favorite because in spanish it means black. I think darkie is OK but it seems to piss of the victim game players and I hate their stupid ninnying.
The funny thing is, why are they even talking about this? Who gives a crap? LOL. I could understand black people debating this issue because they are directly affected by it(Which I don't understand either) but it would make more sense than two white guys debating this meaningless topic that has nothing to do with them.
Yeah, but you will be called into question or defamed for saying a "racist" word. Now if the other person knows what your intentions are and you mean good than obviously you won't be questioned or defamed.
@DoNotBeHighandMighty Well, I don't believe that Andy Rooney uses it to invoke anger and I don't use the word at all. My reply was to your thought that he had no reason to discuss the matter. If he is going to be held accountable for his choice of words, he should be able to question why. If a word that had been used respectfully by this man for 90+ years has been replaced by a name that really makes no sense, he should be able to object. My black friends don't say African-American....
Yeah yeah, again it is "meaningless." A stupid meaningless conversation. I can't use this word without being ridiculed boo hoo. Who gives a crap, do you really even need to use the word in the first place?
Words are just words, "intent" is what matters. Because if you "intend" to piss retards off, they will get pissed. And I don't say "retards" meaning "black people." I am talking about retards meaning people of lower intelligence and they are in all races.
Nobody is stopping anybody from using the words. You can go up to a gang of black people on a dark street and say "what's up N****R" and see what happens. Nobody will stop you from saying it, but there may be consequences.
Not everyone who uses the word "negro" to describe a black man is a rascist, nor does he/she hate people simply because he/she uses "negro" to describe black (African-American) people. I've used the word many times in the past, particularly in front of black friends of mine.
All white Americans should be referred to as "European Americans", as long as black Americans are referred to as "African Americans.
But if white Americans are the only real Americans, even though people of different colour have been there even before the Europeans found America, then White America is extremely racist.
wow what an evil man. I bet he's actually the grand wizard of the KKK. Especially that last comment: "It's not necessary to identify anyone by skin colour" FASCIST!!
People say African American because black people get so easily offended by any name you pretty much have to try your hardest not to offend them. If we asked them to call us European Americans..... they would just laugh.
People should stop referring black people as African-American. Heather Locklear for example is African-American (South Africa), but she's white. Another example would technically be an American with Egyptian ancestry that could be also called African-American--but most probably have more Arab genes, than black.
This guy is ignorant - people dont like being called negro because it has its root in a scientific racial category... negroid. To call people negroes is to label people by their genetic makeup. if you call african americans blacks or negros then an irish american should be referred to as white or caucasian.
though some pepole use it for ass hole poser's an Idoit's for example I would call the moderen era ku klux klan that because I have A some what negitive opionon of them although I Kind of like the imagery of the first era klan though I want get in to that.
I know I'm going to get A shit load of hate mail for this but sceintist actuly do call black pepole negroid
an negro is A short verzion of the word negroid
an the orther I'm not even gona try an get it is sort for that word but because slave master's an orther ass hole's used it it's seen as A negitive word
Andy Rooney is a very very old racialist full of hate man. i loved ur scenario Kijinn , it embodies wut the african american race went through in america. I lived in america for 7 years and one thing i never understood about americans is they seem to be very naive when it comes to sensing others' intentions behind words. Rooney doesn't have to say n***** for u to sense how racialist he is.just listen to the tone of his exchange and response by don"bastard"imus between 00:11 and 00:18,RACIALIST!
How is this racist? Use logic everyone. Negro was a perfectly acceptable word during Andys life. Don't believe me? How about the United Negro College Fund. Still in existence. Political correctness has run amuck. Most of the black people I know were not born in Africa nor have ever been there, thus, they should not be called African Americans.
Someone kidnaps you, locks you into a cage, beats you up, rapes you, spits on you, tortures you, humiliates and taunts you. He does that for 1 year, every day. And during all that, he always calls you "Blanco", while doing any of the aforementioned.
After 1 year, people free you, and as you return home, all your relatives and friends start calling you "Blanco".
What do you think would you associate with the term "blanco", by that time?
Your comment surprises me. Seemingly, you know next to nothing about how African Americans were treated before the Civil Rights Movement.
Read it up!
The hatred and prejudice towards them last to this day, although their rights have improved a lot. And you are suggesting white people should be allowed to call them by a name again, that was used for hundreds of years of slavery and abuse? Because the African Americans who received the abuse don't live anymore?
@Kijinn True. It's like since Lincoln abolished slavery Euro-American people have smoother, much less prounounced hatred toward the African American race.
@Jascene THANKYOU, this guy tries the smart shit when he's blatently on microsoft word chopping and changing words that he's never smart enough to actually use.
Your remark is correct by content, but it's still just a smartypants comment, wouldn't you agree?
Is your perception that any Asian, Hispanic or white American feels adressed to, when called "African American"?
You will be hard-pressed to find a single person who'd misunderstand the term "African American", despite its imprecision regarding the history of mankind.
Can you think of a term that is more appropriate and does not hurt feelings?
@Kijinn BLACK, thats the correct term for a BLACK person, same as a WHITE person is called a "WHITE person" we don't call you ethnic majorities and shit like that and some people find it offensive too be called an african american, and i beg you get of microsoft word. seriously chopping and changing words that you never use while talking too your friends
@Kijinn haha your moist, we're not in the 40's you can speak normaly, bt you a grand you don't speak like that in real life, if you do i feel sory for you, bless bet you had no friends in school, yo probably thought you where better than everyone else, btw i've just noticed, you've been arguing 4 3 days and still knowone agree's with you, jeez you have time on your hands.
Older people grew up with the word Negro. I remember my grandma saying that there was a colored person who moved in next door who she really likes. It is not right for our generation to use the word negro because we didn't grow up with it and it takes more effort for me to say the word negro than it does to say black or african american. But older people get to use it because it is part of their world, they grew up with it, and it would take more effort for them to try and change how they talk.

This whole conversation stems from the truth that, Nelson Mandela, like other
African Blacks, feels insulted calling U.S. Blacks "African American". Kenya doesn't want US negroes back....Nigeria doesn't want them..South Africa doesn't want them...."All they do is complain about white-supremacists who started all the factories' & wealth to begin with"...and US blacks want handouts & stimulus checks from them. "African American" has never existed.

A long time ago, "negro" was the politically correct term. Then some people turned it to "nigger", which is obviously considered racist. Then it became politically correct to say "black". But now it's racist too. Now only "African American" is a proper term. What do they call blacks in other countries? African French? African German? African Pakistani?

The word African American is retarded because it assumes two things.
1. That all blacks are from Africa
2. That all blacks are American.
And black people can be racist too. Calling a white person 'cracker' is racist, so it can go both ways.

@TheAngryOtaku Youre so stupid, guy.
Black people are from Africa, originally, anyway.
If a black guy isnt American, then hes African or Haitian or Dominican. Nobody calls blacks in Brazil African Americans, so wtf are you talking about?
And of course racism goes both ways. So what? Does that mean we should allow it? Whats your point?
At any rate, the discrimination by whites toward blacks has been a lot more prominent than any other kind of racism in the US.

Andy Rooney is not a racist. Everyone, including black folks in his generation used "negro." The issue is that people give power and meaning to words, which is why "gay" no longer means happy, and why negro is now a derogatory word. So just keep in mind what words meant in the different generations.

All white Americans should be referred to as "European Americans", as long as black Americans are referred to as "African Americans.
But if white Americans are the only real Americans, even though people of different colour have been there even before the Europeans found America, then White America is extremely racist.

People should stop referring black people as African-American. Heather Locklear for example is African-American (South Africa), but she's white. Another example would technically be an American with Egyptian ancestry that could be also called African-American--but most probably have more Arab genes, than black.

Let's have this theoretical scenario:
Someone kidnaps you, locks you into a cage, beats you up, rapes you, spits on you, tortures you, humiliates and taunts you. He does that for 1 year, every day. And during all that, he always calls you "Blanco", while doing any of the aforementioned.
After 1 year, people free you, and as you return home, all your relatives and friends start calling you "Blanco".
What do you think would you associate with the term "blanco", by that time?

And you are suggesting white people should be allowed to call them by a name again, that was used for hundreds of years of slavery and abuse? Because the African Americans who received the abuse don't live anymore?
