A member of the Democratic National Committee resigned Wednesday after referring to African-Americans as “colored people” during a party meeting.
John Parker, a Duval County (Fla.) Democratic state committeeman, apologized for what he described as a “hurtful” term and announced his immediate resignation.
“I understand my error perpetuates divisiveness and does not allow us an opportunity for the important types of meaningful discourse — a conversation our party must engage in sooner rather than later — that help us grow as individuals and a party protecting the dignity of all people,” he said in a statement, Politico reported.

So some nobody with no kind of influence or power says something dumb and you consider that news? That is a complete non-story.

How, exactly, does that end up in the arsenal of vernacular that someone uses in their toolkit?

He made a mistake and copped to it. There's a story here? Other than someone is willing to take responsibility for an error?

Maybe he meant "people of color" which is perfectly acceptable. It's sad when a slip of this nature is news. Then again this is xuen so it's expected. Still not discussion worthy.
