Keywords for American Cultural Health

AA Keywords is a list of some of the words in NuuSpeak the specialized language of Cultural Health. These words and phrases are grounded in African centered thought and all Black people should know them. All Americans engaged in the National Discussion on "Race" Should also know them.

The road to maximizing Cultural Health requires a specialized language. Medicine is complex and has a specialized language. Mathematics is complex and it has a specialized language. I submit that the American "Race" Problem is complex (400 years and counting) and needs a specialized language. Not that the language will solve the problem, any more then the language of Math solves problems. But a specialized language focused on African American and European American ethnic relationship problems will make the road to the solutions more efficient.

HateridNuuSpeak is a specialized language that is designed to help us Americans move from Race Hatred to Racial Tolerance and finally Ethnic Harmony. It represents a kind of minimal number of keywords indispensable to an efficient discussion about inter-ethnic relationships.

The list below is not yet ready for prime time. I need your help. If you have question or suggestions as to what words/phrases should be part of AA Keywords. Use the comments to speak now or forever hold your piece. LoL.
