The U.S. Army Considers ‘Negro’ An Acceptable Term for Black People
The newest version of the Army regulation that governs policies and responsibilities of command includes something a bit shocking: a section of “Army Command Policy” that grants permission to refer to “black or African-American” soldiers as “Negro.”
One might wonder if we have plunged through a time vortex into the 1950’s, but it is there, and it is still 2014. The October 22 revision to AR 600-20 defines a “Negro” as “A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa. Terms such as ‘Haitian’ or ‘Negro’ can be used in addition to ‘Black’ or ‘African American’.”

CNN reports that one army official speculates that “it’s possible the word was added so when forms are filled out, a black or African-American person could “self report” and choose to identify themselves as a Negro.”
However, another military officer to whom the news organization spoke called it, “the dumbest thing I have ever heard,” noting that the Pentagon doesn’t use the word in its data collection process.
