Either both are acceptable or neither is because they are synonymous, in meaning and historical context.
Okay, you go out to your local NAACP meeting and started calling all the people there ‘colored’, or even better, ‘negros’, since that’s synonymous in meaning and historical context to ‘Black’, I’m sure it’ll go over well. Good to see that you still don’t understand what ‘connotation’ means, and apparently are too lazy to look it up.
Funny. I see nobody in this thread throwing around insults, except for you. Ok, let’s stoop to that level: Maybe you could stop calling people having a civilized debate “fucking morons”, then you wouldn’t come across as an intolerable twat. I’m out.

Is it because the other guy literally asked to be banned and his content removed? Because otherwise you’d see him calling me a retard. But hey, who needs context when you can blindly side with whoever seems to be in agreement with you and make assertions on what feels correct?
same root, usage and cultural meaning though acceptability has differed over time.
Yes, like ‘colored’ and ‘Black’. Yet only a fucking moron would confuse the two as equally appropriate.
You literally are just repeatedly demonstrating that you don’t understand connotation, and are utterly resistant to the most blatant and obvious examples of connotation possible. It’s like your eyes pass over the comparison without even reading it, glossing over with the hope of, I don’t know, showing off your ignorance on the internet? I mean, if you’re going to get into an argument about literal semantics, you should probably at least understand the elementary-school stuff, lmao.
It is not a connotation you have issue with it is the social acceptability,
And why is it socially unacceptable?
Because of the connotations.
Thanks for playing. Try not being a moron next time.
Like, fuck, it’s not every day I get into an argument with someone who literally spells out why they’re wrong, lmao. That’s some next-level obliviousness.
I never argued for the acceptability for either word you retard I only pointed out your hypocrisy.
I didn’t say anything about acceptability in that comment, but thanks for proving that your reading comprehension is still at the same low level it was when you started this chain.
And thanks for not answering
… and why do words fall in and out of favor, sweetie?
I wonder if it’s because you don’t actually read the comments you respond to, or if you actually do know on some level that answering that question would torpedo your very basic and very stupid premise?
