For all it is a cliche, I think that it is at least a historical lesson.
In 1909, when the NAACP was founded, *one* of the preferred terms of the community for itself was Colored.
In 1935, when the National Council for Negro Women and in 1944, when the UNCF (United Negro College Fund) was founded, *one* of the preferred terms for the community for itself was Negro.
In 1993, when the National Black Chamber of Commerce was founded, *one* of the preferrred terms for the community was Black.
