Why no blacks

Just curious here....why is "colored" offensive, but "people of color" is acceptable?

Let the mods merge this with the National NBA thread so we don't have to read it locally anymore.

All in favor say....

PRAISE TEBOW!!!

It depends on the context of the situation.

lots of questions, the answer is, gubment does not run on logic, it runs on making people/corporations with money happy so officials stay in power...

Last I checked Elam, you only have to read this if you click on it? Kinda like the television? Watch the shows you want by selecting the channel? Just saying. Enjoy all. :-)

Context - The parts of a discourse that surround a word or passage and can throw light on it's meaning. The interrelated conditions in which something exists or occurs.

Semantics - The branch of linguistics that deals with the study of meaning, changes in meaning and the principles that govern the relationship between sentences or words, and their meaning.

There is a difference.

Aaaarrrrgggghhhhh!! It must be hell inside your head. I merely asked the question, why is "colored people" and "people of color" any different, when used in the exact same context???

If anyone would like to respond to my original question, I would appreciate some intelligent discourse.

Cause they afraid of the sickle cell!.
Cause when they scratch their balls and rub their head it feels the same.
Cause they afraid that when the wake up they will be craving chitlens

Okay come on everyone join in because lets be real for a moment. When you scrape away all the bullshit, what the OP and the rest that keep asking are really saying, is that it doesn't matter what you state your reason to be, deep down the reason is your a racist pig of course their is no real way of refuting this unless you go ahead and fuck them to prove your not.
