a ‘colored’ comedian once said something along the lines of
“You white folks call us colored- but we’re born black, live black and die black- You folks on the other hand are born pink, turn white, get red from sunburn, get pale when sick, turn blue when you’re cold- turn grey before you die. And you all have the nerve to call us colored?”
That made me laugh out loud! Thanks!
Used to call them colored, then negro, then black, now it’s people of color. Looks like we went full circle back to the beginnings.
good one
A black comedian (Nipsey Russell, IIRC) once spoke about whites who used an artificial tanning cream, called "Man Tan". He said that blacks were going to start using "Yellow Fellow" and meet us half way! He was a hoot.
