Colored People on your list?
Founded in 1909 in response to the ongoing violence against Black people around the country, the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) is the largest and most pre-eminent civil rights organization in the nation. What is their position on recent Black Lives Matter actions and all the murders in the major cities across America? Strangely silent. I personally don't use the term "colored", for being called a racist by the PC police. Quote:

Since "redneck" is not listed, does that mean that it is not an OFFENSIVE term? And I have never found "Yank" or "Yankee" to be offensive. Is it meant to be a slur? Funny, when I was living overseas I had friends that called me "Yank." They seemed sincere in their friendship. They also used the term "boyo"

I think any term can be offensive. It depends on how you use it, tone, body language etc. even the cat understands me when I want to be offensive.
Of course in writing it is different, it would depend on the context and who uses it. When one tries to offend someone or vice versa, when one tries to make someone feel guilty, my experience has usually been that Newton’s law applies to people as well as things: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. |

My only comment is not all back people are African. Just think, we the white folk have never been subjected to the same treatment as people of color. I grew up in Florida where blacks went to the movies using the fire escape to get to the third level not accessible by any other level. My drug store soda fountain would not allow blacks past the cash register. "White only"water fountains and bathrooms. Year 1960. You fill in the blanks.

Thank you for your sensitivity and willingness in asking the question. First of all, the term is Black, not black. Secondly, why should it bother you? You don't own them. How's your inference skill?

I guess saying colored people is OK in this crazy PC world we live in since the NAACP hasn't been forced to change it's name yet.
I have a black friend that proudly wears his NAACP tee shirt, and he is as liberal as they come. Isn't it strange that we haven't heard a peep from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People condemning these riots and all the skyrocketing murders in the big cities. I guess they're afraid to infringe on the spotlight of the BLM radicals? Quote:
