One is confounded on how to react to one dissing another with the n word, but if non-blk dont you dare utter be uttering it. Also how does "people of color" be a mark of distinction but "colored people" be a slur?

Funny you should mention that. I was just thinking about that yesterday when some idiotic liberal used the term. Maybe they don't understand that words are meant to identify and describe, and "color(ed)" is descriptive and means the exact same thing, no matter which way it is said. The only difference is on who's got the power. Any time the term "people of color" is used, it means that power has either been exercised or surrendered.
