Glenn Beck wants to know, "Why are we made to
feel bad for using the word 'Colored'?" Well,
Glenn, it's like this: unless you're the Invisible
Man, you are colored. For instance, you're sort
of a Tea Rose Pink. So, if everyone is colored,
why would anyone bother to use the word,
'Colored', to label either an individual or
group? They would only do so if they
believed that the individual or group so
labeled should be viewed and treated
differently (usually as inferior). Not that
long ago, Americans who had come of age
realized that 'Colored' was a relic from the
era of racial discrimination and segregation
in American history and was retired from
civilized discourse. Got that?
