10 Reasons Why We Should Bring Back the Word Negro!

Now that Senator Harry Reid has revived the word Negro, we here at 99problems.org have been thinking that we should maybe consider bringing the word back. You know, sort of like a word revival. We have been thinking about this pretty hard, and we think we  have 10 valid reasons why we should just go ahead and start talking as if we lived during the 1950s again.

10. The African American murder rate was a lot lower when people of color were called Negro.

9. It sorta sounds like the word Glenn Beck really wants to call black people

8. It sorta sounds like the word that Rush Limbaugh really wants to call black people.

7. If we use Negro, Sidney Pottier might become popular again.

5. Reminiscent of a time when they had their own league, Black people might start playing baseball again.

4. The use of the word Negro may encourage Bill Cosby to calm down and shut up.

3. The N-word might become much less popular amongst rappers.
