Yes, it is, and it describes how the Black community has moved through various iterations of preferred terminology.
What it doesn’t support is the claims you’ve made: that these terms were invented by “progressives” (rather than by the community itself), that “progressives” came up with those new terms in order to feel superior, that “progressives” came up with those new terms in order to shame those who don’t follow their changes.
You’ve also implied that you don’t have a problem referring to a community using the terminology they themselves decide to use in order to refer to themselves.
So on the one hand it would appear that you perceive changing etymology as an attack by progressive on you, on the other hand you claim you’re okay with a community deciding for itself what terminology to use (and presumably also to change that terminology).
Those two things seem contradictory.
