EXCLUSIVE DETAILS

Donald Trump has changed Black History Month to National African American History month, and we know why.

A senior administration official tells TMZ, after meeting with African American leaders, he believed the consensus was that the term "black" is outdated, and the more appropriate way to refer to the community is "African American."

The official added, Trump was mindful of the new addition to the Smithsonian ... the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

Every U.S. president since 1976 had designated February as Black History Month ... same sentiment, different name.

Edit: Here is his proclamation.

Wonder what other terms will be outdated under Trump?

"Slave" is so old-school. We prefer to call them unpaid interns

MLK day? I prefer Don King day

Sounds like a strategic way to disregard all of our history prior to the slave trade
Like saying yall was never nothing other than slaves, look how far youve come
look how generous we've been in assisting with and promoting your advancement since the 1400s

Except not every black person is technically an African American.
Nelson Mandela is not an African-American.
