Black activists arent satisfied with Florida Democratic National Committee (DNC) member John Parkers explanation that he meant to say people of color but used the expression colored people instead. They want him to resign.
Parker told Politico that he was trying to say people of color but didnt get it right. Parkers own wife has joined the chorus of African-Americans and Democratic officials who say the DNC committeeman from Duval County, Florida, needs to step aside.
Parker made the remarks on Jan. 22 while speaking at a party meeting in Jacksonville and apologized after the initial uproar from those present at the Burrito Gallery restaurant, where he was holding forth.
Why would you still think that colored was cool? Because to me its a Jim Crow terminology and its unacceptable, Diallo-Sekou Seabrooks told First Coast News.
Some in the black community say Parkers choice of words represent a pattern.
At the now infamous Burrito meeting, his critics claim he also bemoaned the affects of racial integration while others accuse him of using the description mayors mammy and calling the Working People Caucus the Poor Black People Working Caucus.
When first challenged for his colored people remarks, Parker told Politico that it was all a misunderstanding.
I misspoke and used the term colored people when I meant people of color, Parker said. He also denied allegations that he had used pejorative terms for blacks in the past, insisting the comments did not happen.
One of my fellow members of the Republican Central Committee for Prince George’s County (Maryland) refers to himself as “the last colored man.” Fred is 75 or so.
I love it when the Left eat their own
OK, fine.
Should I also start referring to my jeans of blue?
How ridiculous! Flip ‘em the bird...
So talking about “CP Time” is still A-OK?

Makes for strange bedfellows.
Let the midterm voting begin................ROTFLOL.
NAACP will have to become the NAAPoC
This could be a good sign.
The racial animosity of the Democratic Party is reaching a fevered pitch.
They no longer even have tolerance for one of their own.
A party in chaos can not organize an effective national campaign.
And you wonder how it is, that blacks are allowed to use the dreaded “N” word, but whites use of that word are driven out of public life, such as Paula Deen.
But some black “comedian”, called Obama “my nigger” at some White House function, duly recorded by the media present, and nothing is said by anyone about this use of that dreaded word.
Of course, it's still okay to have the meeting at the "Burrito Gallery restaurant ". I guess Hillary's Mahatma Gandhi convenience store back room was booked. Thanks MarvinStinson.
Ping
to #6.
FINALLY.
On the Democrat plantation we have righteous blacks like Diallo-Sekou Seabrooks rising up against their white racist honky overseers.
Never heard of it until a “colored” female coworker ‘splained it to me.
Somebody failed to realize that the DNC is slowly but surely becoming an overtly anti-Caucasian party. They’ll never miss the opportunity to cancel a “cracker’s” career, even over an obvious verbal slip. But the dumbass will probably keep voting for them.
