The term "Negroes" is now considered to be outdated and offensive, and there are several antonyms that can be used instead to refer to individuals of African descent. Some of the most commonly used antonyms for "Negroes" include "African-American", "Black", and "People of Color". These terms are more respectful and inclusive, and they reflect the diversity and complexity of African-American identity. In addition to these antonyms, other more specific terms may be used depending on the context, such as "Afro-Latino" or "Caribbean-American". By using more accurate and inclusive language, we can create a more equitable and just society for all people.
