Biden refers to baseball legend Satchel Paige as 'great negro at the time' during speech

Satchel Paige was a legendary pitcher who was prevented from playing in Major League Baseball because of his race.

Joe Biden, in another meandering speech, spoke of Paige yesterday at Arlington National Cemetery, calling him "a great negro at the time." 

Using the archaic term "negro" to refer to African-Americans has been considered offensive since the late 1960s. If Donald Trump said "negro" the propagandists at CNN and MSNBC would be apoplectic.

Are they even covering this story?

"Gay" no longer means gay.
"Retarded" is now off limits.
Negro is a perfectly descriptive, valid word.
I resent the fact that words are being erased from my lexicon!
