Some Blacks are not offended by it , Like I said there is alot of black organizations that use the word "negro" in their name.
Negro is not a baned word on american network television ,I remeber when the movie Rush hour was on TV on Abc or somthing they edited out the Nigger word and put Negro instead.
The real question is weither Negro is a derogatory or just a name like Black or Colored. Some being offended by it does not mean it is a derogatory some people think being called a Yank or Canuck is offensive mainly since the words are used frequiently to make fun of americans or canadians I think Negro is no different. It is just a ok name used by alot of people in a bad way.
Since in spannish the word Black is Negro. If it was a true derogatory then why make millions of copies of DVDs of Men in black called Hombres en negro to hispanic countries?
