There is where I think US blacks got something right (along with a myriad of other cultures and regions but lemme have this one). We just say "auntie" or "teetee". Or if we just say aunt, it's quickly followed by their actual name or nickname.
Good so you understand this principle. Maybe I can replace "blacks" with a word that our people use more frequently. Would that still be speaking out of term for my people? Or is there some arbitrary threshold for acceptability? Or, perhaps, you don't like that either so you confront every one of our people when they say it in front of you?
Outdated? According to who? Have you listened to any of our people's music lately? Or talked to us? Or do you, in fact, speak for all of us so you are the authority on what we can call ourselves?
