“BTW, I moved to rural KY seven years ago from Seattle. I was shocked that they still say “colored” here.”

When I lived Alabama and Fla everyone used the term colored, it was on everything from bathrooms to drinking fountains.

Well, I never see it in print. Also, this is not part of what was the “Jim Crow” area back in the day. It’s just a cultural thing.

I to crack up every time I hear “of color”. It’s just another way of saying “colored”.

Nothing changes under the sun.
