If you're African American then you have every right to post your concern. If that's the case does everyone else need to be outraged for you? Velvet used "Colored" and everyone is freaking out.. I guess I'm just not that socially sensitive..

I had no idea that ‘colored’ was offensive. I am not from the US as I have mentioned in my other posts. I appreciate you bringing it to my attention.

If someone called me a white boy instead of caucasian would I expect you to get upset on my behalf? No I wouldn't. If I had a problem with it I would let you know myself. I swear, if people aren't getting upset about something they're just not happy..

I did find a lot of information about the clubs and activities that the people who move here put together once they landed. I am white and notice remarks daily in different opinion pieces and as of late from others on television who speak unkindly of my race. I don't care. I am proud of who and what I am and nobody's words can take that from me. Velvet's comment was not meant to be hurtful in my opinion. I am far from a racist and choose to not say why. Those who know me personally can vouge for that being true, I couldn't find a link for that either or I would post it. Certainly being confused on thread after thread is tiresome as an excuse for stirring the pot and then acting apologetic when the explanation must be offered to straighten out the person in error. If I'm not proud of being who I am then who would be proud for me. We have neighbors of every race and color in our neighborhood and they are just wonderful. I wish I had a better answer to your question and if I see something I'll be certain to reach out and post the link. PEACE OUT! |

Apologies to Velvet on this post that I just edited. I didn't realize she wasn't American and her understanding of derogatory terms isn't the same as ours. My post was expressing my concern for her ignorance. And now I realize it was because she is truly "not knowledgeable" of American vernacular and etymology. So again my apologies.

Lighten up everyone. I'm sure this person meant to say "people of color"
