Isn’t White a color?
I almost spit my coffee out... Palm of face.. lmao
“Colored people” sounds like someone took a crayon to them...
How about “People of Colored People”? It combines the worst of both terms.
People of Color have embraced their color as a positive heritage.
Colored People are called that by White people as a demeaning term.
See. It is simple. I have been trained by MSM and BLM, etc.

That is casm of sar!
Not “whites” - people of pallor!
“Tired of racism? Take a NAAAP!”
NAAAPY?..
Ridiculous....Apologize?? Even more ridiculous.
“African-American” my ass!
Charlize Theron is African American.
All these American blacks are just f***ing ghetto rats. Never been to Africa and can only be called “American” because they are here because of the happenstance of birth.
Isn’t it about time we threw PC on the garbage heap of history?
“Political correctness is just tyranny with manners.”
—Charlton Heston
And I can’t see much manners in any of those who try to force their PC on the rest of us, who don’t want it.
I envision a LARGE 3 ring binder in the possession of the Executive Producer. It has both the ‘banned’ and ‘replacement’ words and is required study material for all on-air people. It is a 3 ring binder because the list is NEVER STATIC. Sometimes a banned term turns into a replacement term overnight.
The key factor is this; who makes changes to THE BOOK? The grizzled old white male who campaigned for Eugene? HA! How about the middle-aged Gloria-type who still wears her ERA button on the occasion. Nope, she was once heard to say the clean ‘N’ word.
Actually, the book is changed by midnight lurkers on an ad-hoc basis. There is an actual competition amongst the broadcast MSM to be the first to use an ‘au courant’ term to show exactly how ‘with it’ that they are. The old fogies in the print media are always the last to fall in line, they’re still using dictionaries!
National Association for the Advancement of Cracker People.
Which means exactly the same thing as "colored people."
My favorite of all time cartoon ran in the National Lampoon.
It showed a black sharecropper standing in the watermelon patch in front of his decrepit shack. He was holding a watermelon in his hands, and the watermelon is saying, “Let my people go.”
My thoughts exactly!
My apologies (most likely the offense is in picturing an image). My point is that if one is offended by a term or phrase defining them, it is most likely because they do not take pride in what they are. Homosexuals are the worst; hence their anger manifests in calling themselves "gay" when they definitely aren't. Or their adoption of the rainbow flag, when their butt banging activities call to mind the color brown. But I digress. Black people, African-American people, whatever, they need to accept what they are and move on. They need to take pride in bettering themselves and not take offense in the labels that were not truly demeaning in any way that others can perceive.
Political correctness is a tool of tyrants.
I found out just the other day about the differences and importance of words and phrasing.
I had an accident in the shop and cut off the tip of my finger! It’ll be all right. Didn’t much need it all anyway...but kinda painful and blood everywhere.
My ladyfriend was at the beach with several girlfriends. Lady’s weekend away. So, I called her to tell her about my accident.
Me: Hey honey, just wanted to call and say “Hi!”. Yea, everythings good. Oh. I cut off my finger last night.
She: Your hole finger?
Me: Naw. The one right next to it.
Why can’t women just say what they mean?
“And don’t get me started on the United Negro College Fund. “
There’s that old joke about Richard Pryor and Michael Jackson. I don’t remember it entirely, but The Ignited Negro College Fund figured in, somehow. :-P
Who the hell is Amy Robach?
