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.

I avoid the term, African-American, because most Blacks here today have no real ties or connections to Africa, and they are generations removed from any African ancestry they might have.
From another one of his greats, Black and Blue:
I'm white, inside
that don't help my case;
'Cause I can't hide
what is on my face...
Institutional racism rests at the heart of the left and black privilege.
Here we have an extensive, inclusive, list exposing the heart of the left’s institutional racism !! Bringing awareness to Black Privileges the same public way they point out other peoples privileges will help them realize what they have taken for granted and they are intentionally ignoring. Are they enjoying Western (white) style clothes, housing, education, language, society, culture, medical services, freedoms, cultural perks etc. ? Do they feel honored living in a country built by white people? Do they like the fact that every one lets it slide when they practice white face and bleach their skin and hair, wear blue contacts or dress like a white person in a suit and tie ?

* [Blacks] enjoy cultural cache around the world as victors over oppression and the hard reality of what that looks like at this point in world history. The music that they enjoy, the clothes that they wear, their very mannerisms carry a certain amount of gravitas.
* Blacks can assign collective racial guilt to you white folks. White people cannot do the reverse because that would be racist.

* White people need to undergo diversity/sensitivity training. Black people dont.
*
any generalizationfavorable or unfavorableabout any minority that someone does not like is by definition racist and deserves to be suppressedas long as it is said by a white person. Black diversity consultants, in contrast, can parade, without a shred of empirical evidence, the grossest racial and ethnic stereotypes with virtual impunity.
* Its racist to point out racism by blacks. Its never racist to point out racism by whites.

* In discussions of race between black people and white people the conscious black person is always right; is always the ultimate authority on questions having to do with race and racism; must always be regarded as the injured party, or the oppressed. . . . [Whites] cannot possibly be expected to be objective about questions of race.
* Blacks may work for explicitly racial goals but whites may not.
* Blacks are permitted to notice race. Whites are not.
* It is quite acceptable for either party to explicitly go after the black, Hispanic, or even the Jewish vote. In fact both parties gain an indispensable moral authority by doing so. But it is absolutely verboten for either party, or any white candidate, to appeal to whites as a racial identity group. Racial identity is simply forbidden to whites in America and across the entire Western world. Black children today are hammered with the idea of racial identity and pride, yet racial pride in whites constitutes a grave evil. Say Im white and Im proud and you are a Nazi.
* A black person who punches a white person is a hero standing up to oppression. A white person who punches a black person is a racist.
* It can be publicly admitted that blacks are superior to whites in certain pursuits (i.e. basketball). It can never be publicly admitted that whites are superior to blacks in other pursuits (i.e. winning Nobel prizes in science).

When blacks are overrepresented in an undesirable field, it is due to racism. When whites are overrepresented in an undesirable field, it is their own fault.
The Africans are showing him who is the boss.
As far as I know, ‘race’ on driver licenses are still listed as white, negro, etc.
Because they will break the law, riot, block streets, attack innocents and the police any time they are angry.
See the book “Don’t Make the Black Kids Angry”
if the blacks are upset over ‘colored people’ they need to talk to their hispanic allies, who insist on being called ‘colored people’ and ‘brown people’
My own driver license does not give the race.
“Florida Democratic National Committee (DNC) member John Parkers explanation that he meant to say people of color but used the expression colored people instead.”
No doubt this hapless leftist was thinking of the NAALCP (”colored people”) when he made the slip of tongue, which in the weird speech of the left is O.K. when that racist group is being discussed, but as a stand alone the phrase “colored people” is the death sentence because they have deemed it so. But “people of color”, which means exactly the same thing, is O.K. These people are so niggardly in the language that is permissible within the fever swamps of the left.
The new drivers licenses don’t list the race on the front, but it is in the code on the back.
