and parker she doesnt care because she along with myself are truely not racist and we both know that, even she will say that the people that nit pick termanology are the true racist, colored is not a negative term, ni$%^ is a negative term and is uncalled for. As long as people wish to engage it the nit picking of harmless terms such as colored society will never make any progress towards a truely racism free place for everyone, and that statement came from a black person bro.
First off, I could care less what i'm called. That black friend of yours may not either, or he was just being polite (because somebody using that term to discribe "us" is kinda looked at funny). The N word is a equal opportunity word, it can be used on anybody of any race Maybe the Haitian chick doesn't understand that with terms comes history. My mother had to drink at the "colored" water fountain, go to the "colored" bathrooms. And then she was also called "light bright and damn near white", and she could have passed as well, do you know what means? Also there is no such thing a truly racism free place, Brazil is more racially diverse than us, and they still have racism. Black folk tend to think in idealist terms, not in realist terms. We want everybody to except us, will anything in our power to help that cause. This is not nit-picking, and your lack of understanding or ignorance is appalling.
Ask your sister in law does she come from a pack of 64? To answer this question, is to really understand what defines a person.
Black folk (black Americans) many times don't know "colored" the term, because most don't know where they come from, in terms of tracing their roots back to West Africa. And neither do they care. Many of us have Hypertension, but many of us neither care to understand the reason why Black Americans are more susepible to it that West Africans are. Nor do many care about the theory that this may have come about during the Middle Passage, if they know what that means. Also your Haitian sister in law has more in common genetically with West Africans than Black Americans do, do to the fact that in Haiti there was less miscegenation than in the States, and they have kept there African roots.
The next time your sister in law is late, ask her "Are you on CP time?" CP=Colored People, see what the response is.
MLK used the term colored, yes, but that was in the 50's and 60's, as was stated that was a "polite" term, Rev. Right is old school, and depending on how it was used or phrased he may have been referencing that era as possibly Obama.
And the NAACP, is a out of date organization, run by old gaurd people who want to keep the status quo, they still think that it's 1968, and that "We Shall Overcome Someday'
Body, you need some serious lessons, for somebody who is married to a black woman, you got some digging to do? Does your wife use a perm kit, and do you know what brand? I mean, am literally flabergasted at the open mouthed ignorance. How old are you? And how old is that Haitian 'colored' chick?
