I am editing a historical novel set in Chicago in the 1890s. It is written in the first person, and the narrator is a young, well-educated, white woman. The author has used the terms "Negro" and "colored" to refer to African-Americans, which are the historically accurate terms to use. She also uses "black", a term that was not used until later. As readers of historical fiction, how do you ...

FVK NO.. get over it.. Even if we can trace YAH into WEST AFRICA.. as a (get this...) FEMALE DEITY.. (lol) from the Akan tribe, West Africans were NOT apart of the so-called Exodus and DID NOT write your by-bill which was composed by Middle Eastern Phoneicians. Jesus wasn't a BLACK MAN, he was ETHIOPIAN. Being BLACK is NOT an ETHNIC. You savage, unruly, unholy,cannibalistic descendants of...

Well this is where it gets political. I am covered, and always will be, by USAA. I don't pay a cent. My family is majorly well off, enough that they can afford a 1000 bucks a month for Cobra. We are happy with everything even as my dad's business is hurting right now. So, basically, what "you're" asking us to do is sympathize with anyone who cannot afford health care. The way we see it is that...

Obama doesn't care about anyone but himself. He isn't black, he isn't white, he is both. if anything, Obama cares about Islam and if your black, and not Muslim, your considered a useless eating infidel. In case these people didn't notice, Obama and his bosses want the middle class and the poor, GONE.

E.V., your post prompts this long repressed question ... and I hope not to be provocative ... simply curious how others view this ... In books, is "Black" sometimes a restrictive, or even inaccurate term? In print, I have found terms like "octoroon," "high yeller," "mulatta," to have descriptive utility ... like "Is she blonde or brunette? In HF, have those terms of pigmentation ...
