Is it OK to say “The Negro”? [View all]

Sometimes I like to turn Fox News on for a few minutes, to test if my medication is working at keeping my blood pressure down.

I apologize for not knowing the name of the host on Fox’s “America’s Election HQ’ around 11:15 A.M. MTS, nor her male guest.
She asked him if Trump’s visit to an African-American church was a farce, or a sincere outreach to the African-American community.

What really caught my attention was that the guest used the term “The Negro ...” several times
as in:
“The Negro needs to understand that the Republican Party is their friend.”

And I'm thinking:

"WOW"
