The US Army Officially Apologizes & Remove "Negro" As Acceptable Term For Black Employees

The United State Army recently faced a slew of backlash for approving “negro” as an acceptable term to use when referring to African-American soldiers and now it seems all the uproar did not go in vain.

The U.S. Army has issued an apology and will no longer use the term “Negro” in a document on policies and procedures as an acceptable alternative to African American.

The issue was first reported by CNN on Thursday. The Army dropped the term the same day and issued an apology.

Apologies are all good and fine, but the problem is that these racists incidents continue to happen after the "I'm sorrys" have come and gone. SMH
