United Negro College Fund

[El Diablo Blanco]

I am surprised this charity still uses Negro in its name.  I know that negro isn't racist and the term is not meant to me.  But refer to any black as negro and they are sure to call you a racist.

NAACP uses Colored, not much different.

I believe I read somewhere that they are going to change the name in 2015 to the United Nebrew College Fund.

I spelled Negro " niggro" for an MLK day paper in high school once and you would have thought the whole world was going to end.  Teachers parents students everyone got pissed.

My college professor told us this is how the N-word originated, just southerners drawling out "negro."

I think it's a case of brand recognition now - which is why it hasn't been changed

A few years back up here in Ontario, there was a big brouhaha about a name change one of the townships were considering. Seems there was a road called N-i-g-g-e-r trail (without the hyphens) that white officials in the township wanted to change. They felt the name was racist, and were embarassed about having a road in their township with that name. The Black History Society fought the name change tooth & nail. I think it was designated a Heritage Site. It was originally given that name over 150 years ago, because it was the road many American Blacks used on the Underground Railroad when escaping slavery in the US for a life of freedom in Canada.
