[Poll] What Shall We Call Him?

So often the various journalists find trouble in selecting the proper name for the (Moor), Moorish American. Some say “Negro, another will brand him so-called Black, Negro, Colored “Race Man”, still another will call him “Afro-American”, “Coon”, “Shine”, “The Brethren”, Boy and your “Folks”.
It is indeed a hard matter to find something suitable for the various occasions where a title needs to be used. Is it that these people have a National name when first brought to these shores in the early part of the Seventeenth Century? If so, what was it? Did not the Land from which they were forced have a name? It now appears a good idea for those whose duty it is to write for the Various journals to find out what the National name of the fore-fathers of these primary demean other people
by America was.
Also look into history of the founders of civilization and see who they were and where they stood in the building of the present civilization. Probably a few hours in an up-to-date library would serve to relieve the strain on our men and women of letters, when the occasion presents itself for a title for these people.
The matter of the various names given to these twenty-two million so-called people in the United States of America with all hues of every race of the globe was an act of Anglo Saxon psychology. They gave him a name, then defined it as something inferior to theirs. “White”, they defined as a color of purity; “Black”, they say, represents everything evil. The so-called “Negro”, as they were called in this nation, have no nation they published to which they might look with pride.
Their history starts with the close of the Civil war according to America or more properly with Moors being forced to serve some one else. Thus he was separated from the illustrious rich history of his forefathers (Royal Moors) conquerors of Spain in the 8th century who were the founders of the first civilization of the Old World.
This matter should be looked into with a hope of correcting it because of our long and tragic history of expulsions, forced conversions, denial of treaty protections, limitations of civil and political rights, lies and slanders and mass murders.
