I'm not sure I got what this is in response to, but thanks for posting it. Apparently there are some people who need to see that blacks call themselves black people and that it is not a euphemism or a hate-phrase.

Entirely true. The Olympics changed our demographics. They
bulldozed the projects, and arranged subsidized housing in the southern
burbs, primarily my county. My daughters elementary school went from no
trailers to 28 classroom trailers overnight. Hers was an award winning
school and one year later was on probation for low scores. Ours is the only
county in the United States to lose it's accreditation county wide in about
50 years.

We went from wonderfully low crime rates to nearly the highest in the
state. My pretty daughter wore dresses to school and loved to go. We had to
pull her outafter gangs that had moved into the school with the new
students threatened tomess up her face permanently. Total strangers, they
just didn't like theway she looked and told her they hated white girls. This
is the 6th grade I am describing here.

My house valued dropped 60 percent, effectively trapping me when I was trying to sell and buy land in the country. We didn't lock our doors, now we do. Our property taxes have tripled to build schools and cover programs. The school board that lost the accreditation was comprised of city of atlanta teachers, some not living in the county who ran as a block to take over the board.
Their campaign slogan was "Black students deserve black leadership" They had
no experience but based on skin color alone won their seats.
There was so much corruption and graft in this group that SACS says they will
not even consider re-accreditation until every one of them are gone.

choices based on that financial assumption. Put public housing in the
hinterlands, villages, and gated communites; you will discover a quick change in
demographics. ...bobford
