"People of color"

Quick&Dead

is a phrase that is tossed about frequently.

Where did the phrase originate?

Don't people realize that all humans are people of color because WHITE IS A COLOR TOO :!:

I think it?s replaced the ?N? (Negro) word. Pretty soon ?POC? will be banned too.

It is just a raycist way of segregating certain groups of humans.


For example;

"People of color get in for $20, Whitey has to pay $40".................

My understanding of that phrase is that it is used to be politically correct to lump all
NON- whites into one group . As in the whites and everyone else.

To that I'll post a joke that may be deleted.....

A state trooper pulls over a car on the interstate......
A quick pat down of the young driver finds a switchblade knife in his back pocket.

"Boy, don't you know switchblades are illegal in this state?"

"switchblade??? that's a can opener".

"Can opener???? WTH are you talking about"

"sure is.... it's for Purto-recans, Afri-cans, *-cans, Afgan-acans.............

For the northerners...."bless their hearts" is the same as an NYC Italian saying
"forget about it".

Every human on the planet has a skin color, so "people of color" is inanely redundant.

Skin color variations evolved as a response to climate. It has utterly no other implications.

I grew up in an era that called them colored folks, it wasn't intended to be mean or disrespectful, some folks used the "N" word and other choice words but most of the older folks I grew up around just said colored, seems to me that was considered racial slur the same as the "N" word just a few years back, now if I am hearing right, that is what they want to be called now???????

these days POC is not limited to just black folks, but to the reds[latinos/native americans, and also the yellows[Asians], plus the light brown of Meditareanian and middle easterns. basically all non-whites

Well then, we should just call them that, "Non Whites". :roll:

discusdad

if we did that would a racist white privilege statement, right?

Hey folks, this whole "color" thing, along with everything else these days is really getting absolutely politically ridiculous. Incase you haven't picked up on it :roll:

probably the same democrat liberal think tank that gave us other gems like "undocumented immigrant", "gun show loophole", "gun control", "assault weapon", "common sense gun legislation", "person of interest", "developmentally challenged", "alternate lifestyle", "cis/trans/non-binary gender", etc etc

...but for some reason cannot come up with politically correct terms for white people, heterosexual people, or gun owners.

dunno, why don't you call up the NAACP and ask them

say you're calling from Black Educational Television, doing a story about donations to the United Negro College Fund

Definitely a phrase coined to incite hate against white people. What these activists are too stupid to realize is that their cause is failing miserably, primarily, because more decent people of color, young and old from all walks of life are calling spades of all color, not only spades, but every other derogatory name under the sun, while they are at work, at home, or at play - in many amusing and subtle ways that are quite suitable among our more refined ladies and gentlemen. And these decent people of color are having the times of their lives needling these sorry no account skunks. Give these racist scum enough rope and the next phrase they might adopt will be very slightly more to the point of what they really mean by the slogan People Of Color, which is for all of them to Go Black or Go Home!!...(now where'd that come from?)

all us white folk that work and are forced to pay taxes to support all the other colors should demand at the least that our paper money is COLORED WHITE in appreciation for where it came from......
