“Thats awful. Shepard Smith just called Michael Jackson a colored kid. Awful.”
Well, that might have been the preferred nomenclature when he was a kid, so it’s acceptable. Except you have to wonder why bring it up, since it never seemed to be much of an issue, so far as I remember.
I don't know if this makes a difference, but actually, Shep said, "a kid of color...."
I never thought of it as nomenclature, but then again I only have an associates degree.
(Except you have to wonder why bring it up,}
Shep is a ‘Drama Queen’ and it was his way of pointing that being a colored kid is the lowest form of life and he went on to be the greatest human being to ever walk the face of the earth.
