Peace and Blessings Family,

It seems some of us are offended by the term Negroe and Negress ... just like the N word.

How about you?

Okay, now this is where I may take some more heat.

"Negro"....that is a term which specifically has been used to denote a specific race or color.

"Negus" or "N-g-r" denote class....defined as "King" and "God", according to AFRICAN languages.

These terms are quite different and I admit to sometimes use the word "Negro" as a put down. I doubt if any thinking Black conscious person today will identify with being called a "Negro".
