I think everyone should leave the DNC and the RNC to be fair. Let's start living by our own principles and get out of the corporate agenda driven clubs like these.
Biggest growing voting block is Independent's people are leaving them, but they still vote for them out of habit, hopefully folks realize you cant just leave them you have to vote against them.

Only difference is one is considered derogatory and the other is not. Why that is I'm not sure.
Probably cause most people are #in stupid
My guess is because that was a term used in the bad old days. Before the term "black" was used.

Unless you're a native our families all came from somewhere else. I hate the terms as well. Just look at "African American". It's inaccurate as hell, unless you were born in Africa. Which makes my Chinese doctor an African Canadian because she is from South Africa.

How, exactly, does that end up in the arsenal of vernacular that someone uses in their toolkit?
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.
You just highlighted exactly how stupid it all is. Thanks for that.
Just re-arrange, add in "of" and presto-chango!!!
That's crazy.
People of color is fine. Colored people not so much. It's the same thing.
A) # this dude
B) were any of you that are oh so aghast about this comment aghast when another someone called a bunch of people bad hombres?
Or when that same guy said that demographic was great at climbing walls?
Just checking and fat man I'm not talking about you

To me, it's no different than "people of color." To say otherwise is absurd. Also, despite everybody using "poc" now, I think both phrases are problematic and reek of old timey racism.

Democrats keeping up their self-destructive tendencies as another one "talks" the "thoughts" outloud 📣
A DNC member has decided to resign after referring to African Americans as "colored people" !!!
This was said in public at a Democrat meeting of all places !!
The guy's wife (also a "parti" member) encouraged the "resignation" 🧐
He said later that he "understands" his "error" 😁
Yes Watson, there are dumbies among us !! 😁
'Colored people' remark prompts DNC member's departure
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.

I'm sorry but I hear "people of color" all the time.
How is "colored people" any different?
Not much of a slip to go from one to the other.
Hardly worth people getting canned over.
