Leaves you wondering, doesn’t it? So if I called a black person a ‘’colored person’’ would they be offended?
I’ve actaully thought of using the phrase “colored guy” about a black man and see what people say. I’ll just tell them that its eadier than saying “guy of color” and besides, it is the same words and means the same thing - and maybe they should think before condemning another person’s speech.
What is the not-to-subtle message here is white people are not ‘’people of color’’ and that infuriates me to no end. The idea behind this form of bigotry is an ugly and pernicious reasoning that since white is not a ‘’color’’ than ‘’white people’’ are not really people. Well to that I say black is the absence of color, ergo blacks are not people.And God help the fool who ever gets in my face with this nonsense because at this point in my life and at my age(I’m just two steps from sixty) I’m likely to take somebody’s head off. I don’t care anymore. I’ve been listening to this neo-Marxist dialectic about race and ‘’whitey is the Devil’’ for some forty years and I’m beyond fed up with it.
