sadatx: if it's the word black you so much dislike? Do you honestly think that by giving it another name you will minimize and nullify any differences? I mean, you give off the impression that it's wrong to be black. If it's the term you object to, then instead of using a new word every 10-15 years, why not work to improve the meaning and connotation of 'black'? Something I believe this award is trying to achieve, regardless of the name being used.
edit: I don't mean the original intent of the award, since MLK didn't stand for that. I mean the new updated idea behind the award
