Either both are acceptable or neither is because they are synonymous, in meaning and historical context.

Okay, you go out to your local NAACP meeting and started calling all the people there 'colored', or even better, 'negros', since that's synonymous in meaning and historical context to 'Black', I'm sure it'll go over well. Good to see that you still don't understand what 'connotation' means, and apparently are too lazy to look it up.

Fucking moron.

Funny. I see nobody in this thread throwing around insults, except for you. Ok, let's stoop to that level: Maybe you could stop calling people having a civilized debate "fucking morons", then you wouldn't come across as an intolerable twat. I'm out.

Is it because the other guy literally asked to be banned and his content removed? Because otherwise you'd see him calling me a retard. But hey, who needs context when you can blindly side with whoever seems to be in agreement with you and make assertions on what feels correct?
