I think we all know the answer to this one.

Who else thinks Chris and Vickie will install a snack bar and a water fountain for Ol’ Vick to take a bath on, just like the old days in a real movie theater?

He was talking about some movie but I didn’t even bother with the context. I never heard that the term “black” is recent. DeVoe is just a smarmy asshole. His attitude that he is intellectually superior to everyone else is absolutely disgusting, yet the guy has nothing in his life but a fat ass wife who sits in movie theaters all day and a collection of kiddie videos.

I mean I realize that "negro" and "colored" used to be more prominent. Well, per wikipedia, "black" is relatively recent, and apparently "black" was even offensive. By the 1900s, nigger had become a pejorative word in the United States. In its stead, the term colored became the mainstream alternative to negro and its derived terms. After the civil rights movement, the terms colored and negro gave way to "black". Negro had superseded colored as the most polite word for African Americans at a time when black was considered more offensive.[106] This term was accepted as normal, including by people classified as Negroes, until the later Civil Rights movement in the late 1960s. One well-known example is the identification by Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. of his own race as "Negro" in his famous speech of 1963, I Have a Dream. During the American civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, some African-American leaders in the United States, notably Malcolm X, objected to the word Negro because they associated it with the long history of slavery, segregation, and discrimination that treated African Americans as second-class citizens, or worse.[107] Malcolm X preferred Black to Negro, but later gradually abandoned that as well for Afro-American after leaving the Nation of Islam. Still a weird point to make, DeVoe.
(I am guessing that part of what makes a term offensive or not is who uses it. If it white people refer to "the blacks" while they call themselves "colored" then it does carry a connotation. I also suppose this adds another element of "I'm black and I'm proud" that would be lost on a modern audience.)
