"Negro" comes before November (Update)

According to a guest on the Rachel Maddow Show this evening, if I check “Negro” on the 2010 Census, I would therefore be a Negro voting at the ballot box in November.

I was not able to get the young African/American’s name due to the brief time he was on the show. I have noticed shows do not display a guest’s name and position on the tv screen as often and as long as in the past.

The 2010 Census will register “X” amount of Blacks, African/Americans and Negroes residing in the United States and come November, 2010, the group identification will be used to identify the voting preferences of different racial groups. Strange will be the interpretations of the Census when long dead “Negroes” are counted in the April Census and again in the November elections or maybe at one time and not the other. Stranger still is the reality how quickly time flies backwards. Only in America!

God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-SPAN and the spirits of the unborn for the help,

P.S. I suppose the Census makers felt it took too much ink and space to add the word “Colored”.
