Im not black but how is this racist if the media always says people of color
America is a social experiment! For decades white people know now to call black people or any other racial minority "you people", "colored", or grown adult boy or girl. This is why DEI training is needed and REAL black history taught in school.
So, I take it they'll rename the 'NAACP' I wager?
I always say I’m a black person, not a person of color because people of color I would imagine encompasses every living person is a color so with that, black people why be offended if you refer to yourself as people of color and he calls you colored people, isn’t it the same meaning?? he just said colored people, you say people of color
Blacked
Ironically this exchange showcases exactly why DEI/politically correct philosophies are so harmful. Instead of focusing on strengthening our national defense it has Americans more concerned with saying “colored people” vs “people of color.” He was just repeating her own words when she’d said “people of color” a few seconds earlier. But he flipped the order of the words so that must make him an evil hateful racist so we can talk over and dismiss everything he has to say. Some people solely devote their existence to creating a unnavigable minefield of political correctness and eagerly waiting for people to trip a wire
'People of color' and 'colored people' are the exact same thing. You guys are ridiculous 😂😂😂
So what’s the difference between this and “POC”? Geezus, leftists are stupid
NAACP
Even his colleagues knew he F'ed up.
When will people realize that there is one one race (?) the HUMAN RACE.
Colored people? Really?
Once again something for dems to claim racism on. Gimme a break. If thats the case… anytime they refer to white people as white people then that needs to be stricken from the record to. Cant have it both ways.
What he should have said was the colour of peoples skin. But, he was making a point, that skill and ability are what matters, only.
The phony outrage is laughable, and sickening at the same time
They are who they are.
Hey u Colored Conservatives guess what he call you behind closed doors
Black fragility
In my youth. I heard it explained this way: THOSE COLORED PEOPLE . The term also include THOSE DIRTY COLOREDS.
I’m misinformed. I honestly did not know “colored” was offensive. But it’s okay to say “black people”? Serious question. I say it depends on how the person takes it? I was told that saying “papi” to a Hispanic person was also racist? The guy was Hispanic , but stated he’s from New York. I guess it’s bad to assume someone is a certain culture. I’m being serious. I want to be proper but it always depends on the person I believe
he wanted a reaction lol why say colored people then say black people
Aren’t we all colored people? She’s mocha brown he’s light beige
Poor colored folks. They just lookin' for 91 dollars to eat.
I'm still waiting for someone to respond to my question… What's the difference between people of color and coloured people?
If he really meant to use an insulting word there are many he could have used.
NAACP is National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
There next meeting is this month, will Rep. Joyce Beatty call them racists for using that term?
back in 2021, Texas igloo company lost to a class action lawsuit for worker discrimination. They were hiring illegal instead of US citizen. And ya'll thought racism and discrimination would disappear in modern America. And this was 2 years ago too 😂
He didn't mean to say "colored people". He meant to say "uppity people who don't know their place at the back of the bus", but that was just too long for his pea brain to hold onto.
What in God’s name has happened to Republicans?!? It is just one thing after offensive other. They bring shame upon themselves, their family, their States, and their Country.
Let's be honest, if you don't know why the term "colored people" is offensive, you are either very, very stupid or a racist. No other answer.
calm down, he meant "people of color" not "colored people" see?
He should of said person of colour, he wasn't just referring to black, they're alot different types of colour folks in the army not just blacks, the left needs to stop pushing this race crap and it doesnt only effect blacks. The democratic party is taking the black folks backwards they sure don't help them.
People of color would be colored people .
Said he misspoke come on gangster Donald Trump he made all the racist people Bowl
people of color are colored people right.
What does NAACP stand for?
If she finds it offensive she should speak to the NAACP and let them know.
