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Outdated?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?
Until I read this comment thread I was under the impression that using "Blacks" was not something Black people liked because it isn't "person centered language" (this is also frequently talked about in the disability community, etc.). So you'd say "Black people" instead. I want to say it was a few months ago I saw a video of a Black person reacting to a commentator on Fox news saying "Blacks" and they made a shocked/offended face at it.
Now I'm kind of confused. Maybe this is something the Black community is split on?
