“”colored” is just ignorant.”

Keep in mind, we are talking about per-integration days.
99 percent of the population was either Negro or Caucasian.
“Negro” was considered to be more condescending then “colored”. What we now call African-Americans (stupid term)
would refer to themselves as “colored”, and race signs
listed “white” or “colored”.
