"Can you give a more appropriate widely recognizable word that is an alternative to ‘Negro', which brings to mind the image of the dark-skinned kinky hair type African?"

In terms of genetics, racial differences and traditions, WHAT/HOW dark skinned people with broad features and kinky hair, that the most feel the brunt of discrimination should be called??

-----------------------------------------
-Well I would first say, you cannot INFER who feels the most brunt of discrimination. IanI Ras Tafari idren have a term called, 'who feel it know.' thus i would not be so vain as to say there is a particualr group who feels the brunt of discrinination. IanI stand up for ALL oppressed people. Nyabinbghi=Death to all Black and White Opressors.

My mothers grandmother was raped by the 'owner' of the land she was sharecropping in Greene County S. Carolina, by a white man. This happened in 1892, my grandfather was conceived in 1893. He was (is) a mixed raced black man w/ curly hair. My GRANDFATHER, was shot, by racist in S. Carolina in the 1920's he moved to Ohio in the 30's. My mom was born in 1947. Her mother is Black & Cherokee. She was also raped in her youth, because some 'darker' people in Sandusky Ohio, felt that she thought she was 'white.' Fiayah pon that. My grandmother and granfather had NINE AFRICAN CHILDREN. Some of them are darker than others. SO the argument about darker people feeling the brunt of discrimination is not valid in all cases.

Well since there is no one type of African, I simply refer the term AFRICAN to describe those people who see themselves as a member of the family of BLACK people.
