We still have many associates titled Negro this, and Negro that. It is a part of the tradition and more importantly a part of the reason these associates were created.
If you disagree with those names I would go so far as to say you should not like such names and Black association for XXX, they all separate groups of people, and label us. Who really wants to be labeled?

I agree totally. And what REALLY would a name change do??
Will it make the organization better, friendlier, etc.? Basically, there is no valid reason to change the name.
Besides, if they change the name everytime we change our "label" when will they find time to get down to the business of the organization?
