“Good Morning America” co-anchor Amy Robach has apologized for saying “colored people” on Monday’s broadcast of the ABC program.

“We no longer use the term colored people, although once upon a time that was a term in use,” McDowell said. “Now the preferred usage is people of color ..."

No matter how cynical I get, it's never enough.

Or, “privilege challenged individuals.”

Frankly, PoC is one of the LESS common ways I hear, in fact even less common than “Negro.”

[thorvaldr]

So, I suppose the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People also objects to the term Colored People?

ROFL. Spit out my soda when I read your comment. Come on man just laugh at it cause it’s so funny.

NAA-PC. I like it! Truth in advertising.

“Tired of racism? Take a NAAAP!”

And what is the semantic difference between ‘people of color’ and ‘colored people’?

[TRY ONE]

And the NAACP stands for What????

Or, as Rush might say, should they change it to: NAALPC

National Association of Liberal People of Color

“Colored People” bad.

“People of Color” good.

[FrdmLvr]

You can say ‘people of color’ but you can’t say ‘colored people’. What’s the difference?

[HiTech RedNeck]

While the average white person simply uses the analogue of white, i.e. black.

[PSUGOP]

What color? I thought People of Color was an acceptable term?

[AlphaOneAlpha]

What a load of crap:
colored people vs people of color
same damned thing

[Jim W N]

Is “I am white” a racist statement?

Is “I am a man” a sexist statement?

Who defines these stupid terms? The Left of course. So according to them, “Black Lives Matter” is not racist and the “women’s movement” is not sexist.

What utter and complete b/s “racism” and “sexism” are. Lying and confusing tools of the Lying and Confused Left.

Best thing: ignore all this b/s and move on to issues that are in fact substantive.

I’ve heard of splitting hairs, but none as nappy as this.

>>We no longer use the term colored people

Face-palm, or as we now call it, Palm of Face.

As I have mentioned in the past,
the American national motto has
been changed from “In God We Trust,”
to “You owe me an apology.”
