Why are people of color so against being called colored people? It means the exact same thing.

@AngelUnforgiven It's the exact same words just in a different order.

@Cloud7593 again, context! its like using the N word with a hard R some people feel its the same, its all about perception. I'm not the spokesman for the black race all i can tell you is how i feel about it personally.

@AngelUnforgiven I understand. I won’t use the "n" word in any form, and I personally don’t understand black people who want to hold onto it. As long as people are still using it as a racist insult, it can’t be sanitized—not even by dropping the "r".
