I agree because focusing just on the labels ignores the social dynamics behind them. Of course, "blacks" view being called "colored" as more derogatory than "black" but it isn't just about the way it sounds, it's about the treatment of "coloreds."
This reminds me of the film "Black Is/Black Ain't."
