Who Is Colored?
One area of unclarity is what to call the noticeable and probable American descendents of Africans. In general, the general names of "colored" and "black" are as illogical and irrational as the racism fueling the economic, social and political discrimination against "those people" or "you people."
Quite simply, inasmuch as black is the absence of all color and white is the presence of all colors (white light going into a prism yields the rainbow of all colors) then the real colored people have always then the white people. Another perspective on this contradiction is the following anonymous ditty.
| When I was born I was black When I grew up I was black When I go out in The sun I am Black But you! When you were born You were pink When you grow up You are white When you get sick You are green When you go out in The sun You are red When you get cold You are blue And when you die You are purple And you call me Colored! |
Quite simply, as noted elsewhere, better terms are chocolate and vanilla than the terms weighted with historical anger and hate, blacks and whites.
Quite simply, as noted elsewhere, all humanity evolved out of Africian blacks. Whities are merely washed out darkies. 'Links From' Pages linking to this page: ( )No IndexDir ... Refs General ... !RefsRvu ... !Dir.nts) InfoLinks (05-22-2015@07:28) Linkstat:LinksFrom2Table
