Should the word "black" be renamed and redefined in the dictionary?

[Mr Uncle Leroy]

I am trying to get comfortable with the word.

I know alot of blks had to play along to fit in and alot of blks have found ways to identify themselves in America

how can anyone be comfortable with the work "lack" inside your definition.

Sure, some impoverished blks have gone to ways to self-reidentify, themselves, as:

• thugs
• ******s
• nikka
• gang members
• hood streets
• sh*ts
• etc

The older folks, may see themselves as blk american or african american in a good sense. However, blks need to redefine themselves.

Should the word "black" and any derogative derivative be removed from the dictionary? Should the word "black" also be properly renamed in real life in reference to people from African descent or mixtures?

Blks, AAs, need to redefine themselves. Or has there been enough societal civil change to how and what the word means...

The other spin is...whatever whites stand for is negative and blacks dont need white negativity...
whatever is good is black

What else would you call a person with black skin? "He was about 6 feet, incredibly dark grey skin..."

No.

What else would you call a person with black skin? "He was about 6 feet, incredibly dark grey skin..."

When have you seen a person with truly BLACK skin? You would say dark brown. Or if necessary blue-black.
