Plenty of difference if you know American History. Not much if you don’t.
For instance, “woman of color” a recent construct by the left, doesn’t necessarily denote a Black or Negro woman. It could mean an Indian (from India), a Mexican, or a Puerto Rican, etc.
“Colored woman” was a term of disparagement used by Whites when identifying Negroes in the U.S., probably originating in the Southern states during slavery.
You don’t get to decide who can use words, Fury.
Maybe you are really triggered by those 2 words AND the fact that the NAACP might make race an issue in something you think shouldn’t have race as an issue (and the poster above predicts that race will be an issue against Trump)
We’ll see if they are right.
Does the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Persons take the poster’s bait and accuse Trump of racism or will it be other groups.
Or will they all speak out in favor of President Trump and his questioning the content of her character?

>> The term is now considered obsolete and offensive in modern English.
So “person of color” and “colored person” are considered obsolete and offensive in modern English?
See comment #61. They are NOT the same.
Black people/African Americans sounds better.
Look upthread about the NAACP and their use of the word colored.
You've not been reading news and opinion about POC and BIPOC?
Nothing carries the "weight of segregation and discrimination," except segregation and discrimination.
But as to "colored:"
Person of color WikiAssuming you mark a census asking "race" identification in a certain way -- which I cannot know -- here is an article by a POC suggesting that other people of the color white -- yup, a color identity today -- need to read some things.

Dahleen Glanton: Why is ‘people of color’ OK but not ‘colored people’? A reading list for white folks Chicago Tribune, 24 June 2024I don't know your "color" -- a concept VERY much in use in modern media today -- and you don't know my "color," I just imagine you trying very hard to be colorless.
As to the Dahleen Glanton text, her "do the work" is quite the same as the old Marxist "struggle sessions." You can Wiki that and find its "color" isn't black or white....
Where’s the list you promised that would include all these stellar black women? Why do you throw out empty promises to try to bolster your fake ‘fury’? LOL you’re a loser, dude.
>> “Colored woman” was a term of disparagement used by Whites when identifying Negroes in the U.S.
If it’s such a heinous slur, please explain why not “N.A.A.P.O.C”. Something is out of kilter... methinks what’s out of kilter is basically the Race Grievance Industry’s massive honkin’ shoulder-chips that they just... can’t... shed.
During DEMOCRAT slavery, Fury’s chosen party.
Other term is not and is considered a slur because it was widely used during the Jim Crow segregation era in the U.S.
>> POC is an acceptable term but to me
Good to know that!
Let me tell you what pronouns* ...er, sorry, racial labels are acceptable to *me*:
Anything. White, cracker, cracka, honky, paleface I really don’t care. If you’re a friend and you’re teasing me, I’ll laugh. If you’re a stranger, you’ve gotten my attention and I may be on guard — but not offended because of the word.
Why is that, do you think? Is it (GOD forbid!) my White Privilege?
*and the racist obsession with exactly what label is used to describe a race really DOES resemble the idiocy of the alphabet people and their damned pronouns. I think the Alphabet People got hold of the concept from the Racially Obsessed... Gramscian Marxists that they all are.

Language police serve political views. One should be cautious in applying Marxist and Leftist and "woke" "rules" for they tend to cut both ways.
Or Denise Williams is a racist. I wager she is not. One the other hand, I wager that Dahleen Glanton is most definitely a racist and a Leftist. It's their game.

That organization was established in 1896. They kept their name because of the historical significance and symbolic value even though otherwise the term is outdated.
She is a big girl. Can make her own decisions. From what I have read she is more closely aligned with Colin Powell. I recall she supported banning the word bossy because it was sexist.
From Wikipedia: She is the first black woman and first nonwhite person to sit on the Board.
Doesn't "nonwhite" imply color?
Cue the Lou Reed music.......
I hope you’re being sarcastic.
There’s a good chance she’s a member of NAA-COLORED-P.
