I never understand why it’s considered an insult to say “colored people”, but it’s considered ok to say “people of color”.

When a black is mad, he’s black
When a white is mad, he’s red

When a black is envious, he’s black
When a white is envious. He’s green

When a black is scared, he’s black
When a white is scared, he’s whiter...

Now, who’s the colored one?

It's all part of the never-ending goal of controlling people through conflict. You constantly create new language and rules and then say that anyone who doesn't follow them is a nazi and can be beaten in the street by your henchmen. If everybody acquiesces to the new standard, you scrap it and create something different and the cycle begins again.

The idea is that if you kick a man down enough, eventually he'll lose the courage or will to resist anything you ask.

All skin has a color. Who in fact has white skin or black skin?

Trying to understand is racist. It’s a tool of white supremacy.
