Hi everyone,   I haven't posted in a while, but I've been lurking here and there. Among the recurring questions that I have as I'm reading, I'm curious as to why so many people on SF use the word negro instead of black. It's used so matter-of-factly that I'm just wondering why the preference for one word over the other. The proper, scientific term for the Black race is Negroid or just negro for short. I'm assuming people use negro because they feel it sounds a bit more proper than the slang and politicized term Black? That's why I use it at least.
