>>Ive heard of splitting hairs, but none as nappy as this.
I see what you did there. Bravo!
“Colored People” is not a racial slur. “cuhlluds” is a racial slur, because it’s a slurring of the word ‘colored’ with racial overtones.
What’s the difference between people of color and colored people. Power.

So if you use the same root words, but you don't say them in the proper order, it's a racial slur?
Bwa ha ha ha ha ha... (slaps sides) bwa ha ha ha ha ha...
Comical!
Lol. great quote by Goldberg by the way in your tagline. I still like him a lot even though he is very misguided when it comes to Trump.
And don’t get me started on the United Negro College Fund. Or the Congressional Black Caucus,

Oh. Right. Because then it would be NAAAAH.
The Land Of The Perpetually Offended.
The same people who refer to themselves as "People Of Color" are upset if you say "Colored People"?
Go figure that one out.

This is becoming worse than the old Soviet Union ever thought about being. When they begin to tell us who we can physically communicate with, and that is coming if HRC becomes President, just assume they have reached their goal. Whoever said, “Ignorance is bliss,” got it wrong. Ignorance which tolerates this kind of tyranny toward speech is diabolical..It is as simple as that.
Well Amy, they’re not easter eggs....
She was at NBC and had an affair with Matt Lauer that cost her a marriage.
Lauer ended the affair and had NBC fire her so she ended up on Good Morning America...
Oh yeah!!!!!!
Shame on her for not being “politically correct”
She reversed the words from “people of color” to “colored people”...
That’s so blatantly obvious that it is a slander.../s
Didn’t Hillary just say she was on colored people time?
And that’s funny, colored people is bad. People of color is good. I have a proposition about your preposition.
Do you want a brownie of chocolate or a chocolate brownie?

How about the late 70s. I saw an old episode of The Incredible Hulk on MeTV Sunday night. The Hulk roars through the car wash where David Banner was working. One of the other (black) guys says, “now THAT is a colored man!”.
Absolutely true.

My WWII vet dad used to refer to some guys he served with as “colored guys”. I always would ask “What color were they?”.
It’s a phrase, an expression, deal with it, Amy. We have much bigger things to worry about than your little PC mouth.
An old friend of Irish descent has informed me that since his latest HR sensitivity training he finds the word “potato” highly offensive and demeaning. Wants to know where the line forms for Reparations.
You can say people of color but you cant say colored people. Whats the difference?
Person-first language. The special needs community prefers boy with Down syndrome, rather than Down syndrome boy.
So ridiculous!
