Good for you. In my experience, Negresses are quite hostile for no reason.

Male/female
White/black
Aspie/NT

I try my best. They often fail to uphold the social niceties. I wish it were different, but it's my observation.

The older ones can be decent, but the younger ones are atrocious.

It's the proper American-English term for a black female. But it's hardly the take-away from my observation, and nothing to get hung up on. If that's all you want to focus on, you've missed the point.

Are black men on average considered to be more attractive than white males?

I saw a panel of scholars discussing Shakespeare on TV, and one of the topics was the possible identity of "the Dark Lady" he wrote sonnets to. And the one of them opined that she was a "negress". And the guy who said that was an American Black guy. So there! Actually he might have said it to to purposely sound archaic and sound like an Elizabethan would say it, but still. :)

I imagine the Dark Lady to have looked like actress Anne Hathaway (a mysterious seductive dark haired white lady, but I digress).

Ironically (or maybe not so ironically :wink:), Anne Hathaway was Shakespeare’s wife.

“Negro” was the “proper” term for a black person in the US up until about 1967. It usually applied to women, too.

“Negro” is still proper in the Caribbean. It’s used for both men and women.

For one thing - there was such a term as "Jewess" for Jewish women. Thats how they talked back in the day. Lol!


For another thing the "O" ending on words is masculine in all Romance languages like Spanish and Italian.

You can call all Anglo Americans "Gringos". And you can also call an American tourist dude a "Gringo", but his Anglo wife would be a "Gringa". :)

So in a Spanish or Portugese speaking country you would call a Black woman a "Negra". But in an English speaking country you cant do THAT, but you would have said "Negress" back in the day.

Abraham Lincoln said 'negress' in Star Trek and apologised , but Uhura said she wasn't offended. Probably still not a good idea.

I was tempted to think of a song where the lyrics to Bad Boys by Wham were replaced by 'Black Girls' but that would be going too far :D

I see you're a fan of racist tropes and archaic nomenclature.

Thanks, I thought I was in the twighlight zone for a while. The fact nobody objected to his language means it enables the continued use of the language

Yeah....1960s...last time I checked its 2022

Secondly -Negresses are quite hostile for no reason. I will admit, I have never spoken to an African American but my sister lived in Atlanta Georgia as part of a school exchange program back in the 1980s and her view is that African American girls and their families she met at the school she attended were the friendliest people she came across (and self-disclosure my sister was/is a stuck up conservative who was skeptical/scared of meeting a black person prior to the exchange program).

Same with colored people. My grandparents used to call black people colored people.
