"colored" isnt racist...its just distasteful..granted there may be few "black" people who may want to issue you an ass whoopin for u using it. trouble with it is that the word echos back to a day when that was a NICE way of saying the person was "black"..when it was also socially acceptable for white ppl to say that the person was a ni**a or ni**er!

the naacp was founded in 1909 fellas..........1909
i'm pretty sure most find it to be an offensive term,,,,but im 100% confident the person you made this thread about really doesn't mean any harm when he says it...........but in general,,,,just a poor choice to use the word

but along these lines,,,,i find it hilarious when white people take offense to black people calling each other by the "n" word.........
"only WE can call you that name"
but in general,,,who gives a fuck about words anyway,,,,who decided that "fuck" had to be an offensive word,,,,,,personally,,,,i kinda like the word.......................

Haven't heard colored since my Grand Pappie used to say it. He wasn't even a racist played in a Jazz band w/ all black guys that were his buddies.Think it was just a term they used back in the day or maybe deep down inside he hated them all I don't know I doubt it don't think it's a racist word.
How do you describe someone that isn't white? Or is calling someone white racist too? I know when ever I'm in South America they call me blanco and gringo and it doesn't bother me should I be outraged?This is all getting confusing. I remember I used to say African American and got told motha fucka I ain't from Africa a couple times. So who knows what the proper etiquette is. If anyone knows please tell me what I call each ethnicity or can I use that word?

I just always thought "Colored" was the polite way to describe someone's race. that is why I say it. I just never liked to call African Americans Black. Black to me just sounds like a harsh word.
You sound like a fucking idiot when you say colored.

So if a Chinese and African person were standing side by side and I was conversing with someone and I wanted to point out the two individuals standing there what would I say?
Now I guess I could say, hey, look at those two people over there. However, what if there were multiple groups of twos.
I could say, hey, look at the Chinese guy and African guy, but what if they were neither of those.
Or could I say, hey, look at the colored guys standing over there.
Which would seem to be more appropriate.

I agree it does sound bad to a point. But if the NAACP can use it. If Tyler Perry can use it in the title of his movie, then why is it not ok for white people to use it. It goes back to Don Imus, when he called the girls nappy headed hoes. And the saying I heard so many times, you can't use the words we use. People just need to get off their high horse and stop being so sensitive. It's so hypocritical to not want to be called the N word by a white person. Then use it as a term of endearment to each other, that to me is what sounds stupid. And don't tell me they are two different words with one ending in "er" and the other ending in "a". It's the same word period. Maybe one day we can have a manual issued to white people of what is appropriate to say to black people and not. So for the people who aren't racist, they can know what's correct to say without being accused of being racist.

The tyler perry movie 'for colored girls' (shortened from the play title which was for colored girls who commit suicide...), uses the word colored because of its abiguous meaning today. It's about black women who are trying to be strong black women, but they don't know how today, and I think it will play a lot on how convilluted all these race relations are today. She says in the preview 'Ever since I learned that there was something called a colored girl ... I've been trying not to be that". Later they also use it in a positive sense, but the idea is that she doesn't know what she should want to be. It's all playing off of the confusion that made this thread so popular IMO.
