By you just "joining this board" today, I would think you would look around, we have had this conversation over and over. I don't care where you are from, what the people around you may say, or what will make their heads turn...the word "colored" is not a word anyone who has ever watched TV or read a book or knows an AA would use. I just don't believe it. I live in the South and I will tell you this, there are people here who will use the word "colored" and you know what we call them? Racists. or Ignorant. or Bigoted. Take your pick.
