I moved from Seattle to rural KY 8 years ago. One thing I found interesting is that it is still common to call black people “colored” here.
a ‘colored’ comedian once said something along the lines of
“You white folks call us colored- but we’re born black, live black and die black- You folks on the other hand are born pink, turn white, get red from sunburn, get pale when sick, turn blue when you’re cold- turn grey before you die. And you all have the nerve to call us colored?”
