1 AnswerHistory9 years agoWhen were the terms "*****" or "negroes" banned in the United States?
I am British, and I was recently watching an American documentary where several different terms were used to denote a black person, but it seemed that the terms above are not used in the more recent film clips.

I have come across references to the above terms to denote boy(knave girl) and girl(gay girl) in this period as the use of girl or gurle or any other variations denoted a child (not gender specific) and knave or gay denoted the gender. Can anyone confirm this, or at least point me towards a reference somewhere?
