That's racist!

[Carl Pickens]

At one time, it was. There is a term for words which are brought into the lexicon to describe others because the new word is thought to be less demeaning than the previous word. Over time, the new word carries a negative connotation. Then another new word has to be created.

I wish I could remember what this is called.

Perhaps, colored people is a variation of people of color and is becoming en vogue again. I don' t know. I don't believe there is anything inherently demeaning in the phrase but tone and body language convey a lot of our communication. So it could be a neutral phrase but used in a demeaning way.

This is what made me wonder because you hear the term “people of color” used without repercussion.

I have offered the words hypermelanated (black), melanated (everyone else), and hypomelanated (white) but those are a mouthful.

Child support is racist yo'
California Reparations Task Force calls for eliminating child support debt for Black residents

Do you guys ever listen to Jordan Peterson? He has hundreds of hours of content on youtube. Completely dismantles lefties, socialism, climate BS, you name it. Has some of the most respected and educated folks on Earth in each field come and debate or discuss things with him. He has a PHD in clinical psychology and has over 7 million subscribers on youtube

He is the voice for conservatives, men/boys, families and freedom, just about everything that is good, honest, and proper. My favorite to listen to by a wide margin



This one is relevant. There are shorter videos too.

I actually don't venture too far down political podcast/youtube rabbit holes. I've listened to Peterson when he spoke about eating meat only, but thats about it.

I have found that the more I ignore the media and the news (outside of local, weather, globally impacting events) the more the world looks less like the cesspool they try to make it out to be and I am less angry at the human race.

Arizona Republican refers to Black Americans 'colored people' on House floor
serious question…. is the term “colored people” actually considered to be demeaning?

Depends on the user and the context.

But yes, for the most part it is considered offensive.

Most people would not refer to black people as “colored people”. People of Color would be acceptable, as in ‘BIPOC’.

If "They" determine it's racist at this moment, then it's racist.

I wonder if she got the memo the Latin crowd really doesn't like the LatinX term?

That is certainly true. Most do not like that term applied to them.

That would be racist

The fact that this is even an issue is ridiculous. People of color versus colored people? Give me a f’ing break

Maybe using “colored people” is like calling a man “boy”….. … if it is …. That’s being too damn sensitive. I don’t think the guy meant to be racial at all

Must be one of those phrases only certain people are allowed to say.

Are people of Asian descent "of color?"

Or is that an off color question?

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

This Dem is so full of racist hate towards conservative black(s) he should be shamed for it.
The hateful left gets really crazy when black Americans refuse to support their agenda.
