I figure that since my great grandmomma who spent all her 98 years in the heart of Dixie and even knew people who fought in the Civil War could realize the horrible wrongs committed and went on to work in the civil rights movement, then there is no excuse for someone of Miss Paula's generation to continue to be this way. It's sad to say there are people who will still be racist and say horrible things in nonmixed company but I for one will give them a piece of my mind when they do!

Colored?
How do people feel about the use of Colored in this regard? I've got an 86 year old neighbor who will still use this term sometimes. Note he voted for Obama, twice.

Aw man, I came over here to see if "Arnold Poppi" replied to Mizeree I2K. He's gone.  Just the username alone was freaking hilarious!

Is your neighbor white?
My (black) mentor uses the word colored and so do I sometimes. It does not bother me but I also do not use it in mixed company.
Note: White people, please understand that just about any word can be used in a demeaning way as well as a neutral way and endearing way. Me being an example of someone who tolerates the word "colored" is not a pass for you to use it. You've never used it before and you're just trying to be slick.
