Whites.
I think that's more about being unaware and literal than being an idiot.

Does that apply to the blacks that came up with the name NAACP?
Were they blacks or idiots?

Any term can be used disparagingly.
While the term "colored" has never offended me (and one of my mentors actually prefers the term), I imagine that I would be offended if the intent was to insult.
I mean.... I've been insulted when someone said "You know how you Washingtonians are."

If he is 83 then that is just what he is used to. I mean the NAACP is a good example as much as you disagree. When the NAACP was founded the term colored was the common way to refer to an African American and it was probably the same for him. Hell for that time period Colored was probably progressive for him to use.

I think idiots. I would argue that most whites who have thought about it have figured it out on their own before they make the argument.

I don't think not making the argument means they've figured it out on their own. I think it means that people think things but don't always say them.

Aw c'mon. Some of us have figured that one out without having to have it explained to us.

That much is obvious.  The whites who haven't are still white.
