okay, imagine a stutterer. he is trying to say "Satchel Paige, a great player in the Negro League at that time...." he says, "Satchel Paige, a great Negro, at the time, in the Negro League...." trying to recover his main thought. you are a teacher. try to use common sense. is there anyone alive today out in public, not in a home or basement, who regularly refers to black people as negroes? do you really think biden calls black people negroes when he doesn't think anybody is listening? and if negro was so offensive to blacks, generally, would they still have the United Negro College Fund?
