The kid did speak awkwardly... It came out wrong, but nothing to get your shit in a knot over. She may have pointed out, in private, that the word choice was poor. Perhaps saying "the person on the left".... But ultimately, black is a fucking color. There is no more efficient way to describe the color other than calling it black.

I don’t shuffle, I don’t tap dance, and I don’t take out the garbage… Some of the citizens in Martinsville need to wake up because I am black. I am also a voice for black people and we are tired, we are fed up and we are not taking it anymore” said Sharon Brooks Hodge, a member of Martinsville City Council, speaking to a Martinsville television reporter."

ATTICA! ATTICA! ATTICA!
