    I thought McConnell's statement would get more traction from this crowd.  I still can't believe he actually said that.
    honestly I didn't see this one as a big deal. I think he just missed saying "other" or "fellow" before "Americans". 
    Not a big deal? Wow! Can't believe you just said that.
    I agree with Hugh.  While it sounds really bad, I do not think it was some slip...just came out different then it should have.  WHich tends to happen when you you talk on camera a lot.  

    I completely understand it being in this thread cause it is a head scratching comment for sure...
    he's mocking me because of my reaction to Gern's "not a big deal" about biden saying that "you ain't black" quote. he's trying to portray that I'm hypocritical in some way. I see them as completely different statements, but whatever. 
    we agree on McConnell's statement...not sure why we don't on Biden's
    Is calling someone “black” acceptable? I was scolded here a few years ago and had my post changed by the mods to “person of color”. I’m legitimately asking

    I'm not mocking you. It appears you and others are minimizing an overtly racist comment from McConnell. Has nothing to do with Biden's remark.
    it's open to interpretation. mine is that it wasn't overt at all. I like to think I know an overtly racist comment, and that wasn't it, in my opinion.  I could see how it would be seen that way, especially how evil many (myself included) view him. I just tend to think of things like this in this manner: if Biden had said that, would it get the same outrage? or would it be explained away as a gaffe? My guess is the latter. 

    and even if you weren't referencing my reaction to gern's reaction to Biden's remark, I don't consider "you ain't black" as a simple gaffe. I don't think it was racist. I think it was an incredibly out of touch and stupid thing to say.

    I think it depends largely on wording. If you said "black people", I think that's fine. If you had worded it "the blacks", I've been told that is considered in bad taste.

    I've never heard of referring to a person as "black" unacceptable. 
    I know language is fluid and changes, but it would really help things if we could agree on terms referring to heritage.   Even "race" is deemed improper because there is only one human race.  Not a bad point, but we have said "race" when referring to people of differing heritage for so long it's hard to change that one.
    Asian used to be "Oriental".  I think we have finally established "Asian" as the proper term, but I still hear "Oriental" now and them.
    "Negro" was nearly universal up through the mid 1960's, even among African Americans.  With the Black Power movement, "Negro" became looked down on almost as the "N word".  Black was the go-to accepted term.  In the 80's, African American became the accepted term.  I tend to still say "Black" because people like Cornel West still do.
    Native America/Indian/American Indian/First Nations/Specific Tribes is the most difficult.  Indigenous people seems the most logical to me.

    Language is a bitch.  But I might get called out on using the term "bitch"!

    Hearing y'all just mention the term "the blacks" cracks me up.  It's so far out of kilter to use a term like that especially in this vanilla group.

    It's because we learn from our greatest leaders:

    'The blacks,' 'the gays,' 'the Muslims' — linguists explain one of Donald Trump's most unusual speech tics

    Notice anything unusual about the following Donald Trump quotes?

    "People don't know how well we're doing with the Hispanics, the Latinos."

    "I have a great relationship with the blacks. I've always had a great relationship with the blacks."

    "I love the Muslims. I think they're great people."

    "Ask the gays what they think and what they do."

    "I will be phenomenal to the women."
