[QUOTE="Fighting4yourRights, post: 271646, member: 10388"] It's okay to see the color of a person's skin. In fact, it's impossible not to notice. Perhaps this post was a little insensitive to the extent that we do not call people 'colored' or, conversely, 'not colored' any longer. The history of that label is buried in racism and intolerance. It's not that I am 'not colored' but that I am a White person; just the same as I would not identify myself as 'not Black' (but White). It also would be okay to use the term "person of color" or "people of color" when refering to, well, people of color. .....The more you know (ding) I think you are right regarding credibility, pointing to the supposed race of a poster (if it is irrelevant) can polarize people and lesson potential allies.
