AFRICANS OR AFRO ANIERICANS.
Please Do Not Call Us "Niggcrs."
(By Judge McCants Stewart, Of
Liberia.)
Liberia, in West Africa, is tho only
properly constituted colored
republic.)

Africans and people of African
descent arc receiving moro mention
than over before in the British Press.
Their services in the cause Of tho
Allies bring them into special notice.
The praise so generally givcn them
is highly appreciated, but there is a
thorn i'll the Communications when
writer's in describing us spell Negro
with small "n" and there is positive
Indignation when the terms coon"
and "niggcr" are used
There is some satisfaction however
in the fact that good writer never
employs the latter expressions, unless
he Is an old mossback whose eyes
are in the back of his head, and who,
therefore, cannot sec that We are no
longer living in the dark days when
African slavery was an acknowledged
institution
| sat last month in meeting OF
fifty colorcd men representing West
Africa, America and tho West Indies
and there was Il unanimous express
ion against the use Of the word Ne
gro The reason given was that the
word is invariably spelt with a small
"n" and is often replaced by tho term
"nigger." 1t was held that this term
can be properly prciixed to any
mean low principlcd representative Of
any race, whether white black vel
low Ur brown and can i'll no way
be dccently used to describe Il race
The West Africans preferred to be
called "Africans": the West Indians
by tho geographical namo Of their
islands, "West Indian; and tho
Americans had no objection to mo
gro" with a capital IN" but they pre-
ferrcd the term "Afro-American,"
which term is in common use in
America. 1t follows the analogy
Anglo -American, Franco American,
Italo-Amcrican, etc. and it is found In
Funk and Wagnall's unabridged
Dictionary" as meaning an American
of African descent
After all the reader may say,
"What's III name?" We answer
"Surcly, an Afro-Amcrican has as
much right to object to being called
"nigger," "sambo," "darky" or
"coon" as tho American soldiers havo
to being called "Sammios. " And any
writer who uses those Objectionable
terms is either thoughtlcss or pos
sesses the German spirit, which ig-
norcs the susccptibilitics, tho feelings
and the rights OF tho weak and help
less. London Daily Express.
