Using the word Negro

You'll remember the first days of the (yet ongoing) Reduction of Iraq, when, besides the wanton murder of civilians, and the general destruction of the oldest artifacts of civilization on the planet, there were so many outrages against innocent humanity and plain human decency committed by our troops, that it'd be impossible now to enumerate them all. Still, one obscenely criminal act lingers in my mind, possibly worse than our seemingly insatiable taste for raping and torturing children in front of their parents (Had you forgot Abu Ghraib?): Early on, while Baghdad was still being "subdued," you'll recall, one of our precious troops--a male person, as I believe we now say, of color--who hastened to the Zoo and shot the tigers in their cages. Not that it matters, of course, but, in my parlance, that particular, colored, Tiger-shooting U.S. Soldier (troop) was a Negro. I refuse to call him anything else--Fuck you very much, if you think I mayn't call him that. I might even say that he was a Nigger.
