Colored - what is it?
Listen up, you ignorant assholes...there's no right or wrong way to spell it.
It was originally "colour", but early Americans decided that the "u" was unnecessary, so they changed it to "color". What's so wrong about that...they thought it made a lot of sense. And what's wrong with the original spelling...obviously that's the way the Brits liked it!
I can't believe some of the postings on here...with the Brits calling us "lazy" and "stupid" for changing the spelling of a word, and with us calling them ridiculous because their version has an "extra letter"...for Pete's sake, it's a fucking WORD.
Language evolves over time, so deal with it and stop bitching about insignificant things, like everyday language. There's much more important stuff going on out there...
"Color" or "colour"...it's the same word either way.
What does "Colored" mean?
1. The quality of an object or substance with respect to light reflected by the object, usually determined visually by measurement of hue, saturation, and brightness of the reflected light; saturation or chroma; hue.
2. One of the words that's most popularly debated about the correct spelling of. Color vs Colour.
In the USA the spelling of the word is 'color'. Many "Yankophiles" (people that live outside of the USA, but admire the USA) also spell it this way.
In the UK, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, etc. the correct spelling of the word is 'colour'.
Anglophiles in the USA (Americans that admire England) also spell the word 'colour'.
Simple as.
There's no real correct way to spell the word, if it's officially adopted as the correct spelling there. That's why in the US, they speak American-English, not exactly English per se.
Chatroom Session:
British person: So yh, mate. The colour of my car is red.
American person: wtf. u spelled color wrong.
British person: no, u did. the english language originated here. so colour is correct.
Open minded person: Shut up both of you. Both 'colour' and 'color' are both correct. You're on the internet speaking internationally, so technically they're both right.
British and American people: .....
Colored - what does it mean?
African-American. The former "polite" term, replaced by "Negro," then by "black," now by "African-American."
White folks in Washington
They sure know how
To call a colored man a nigger,
Just to see him bow.
-- Lead Belly, "Bourgeois Blues"
Colored - meaning
Interesting or diverse. Not drab or boring.
I've added a lot of colorful words to my vocabulary by using urban dictionary.
Colored - definition
Racism within members of the same race. For instance, light-skinned African Americans looking down on and discriminating against darker-skinned African Americans.
Colorism is just as harmful as racism perpetrated by whites on blacks.
Colored - slang
The discrimination of African Americans by Skin tone in their own community, usually subconsciously done, as most Blacks dont realize they're doing it until some dumb rapper or famous person makes a stupid untrue statement about darker toned women.
Perpetuated during slavery and by the media which seems to suggest lighter skin females to be of a higher stance than darker ones.
Perpetuated by rappers who often show more lighter skinned women in videos and hardly any darker ones.
Perpetuated by some Black men who treat lighter skinned females in a higher regard than darker toned ones.
An untrue Inplication that darker skin girls cannot be as fine as lighter ones. Bullshit.
Example of statements made for colorism
1.(rapper) "She gotta be a thick lightskinned redbone...long hair..."
2. "Dang you cute... for a dark skinned girl."
3. "Lightskinned girls just way finer! I dont want no dark girl!"
Colored
A word you can call blacks that will make them mad and probably try to rob you.
*out for a nice evening stroll*
Ah what can I do for you 4 fine colored gentlemen?
Colored
Something that we all are. Colored does not just mean Black anymore, that is only a stereotype. Here's a list of what color a race is associated with:
European-Americans=White
African-Americans=Black
Hispanic-Americans=Brown
Native Americans=Red
Asian-Americans=Yellow
It shouldn't matter what color you are. I am accepting of all races. There are people of every race that I don't like, but that is the same case with everyone in the country.
I honestly don't care if your white, black, red, purple, or orange, race is not an issue with me!
Colored
1 ... People, objects, and descriptive social interaction of these things together, which in the brightness of light, can objectively be viewed in hues offered in the color spectrum, with each of those colors being able to be filtered out completely by the color black or the color white.
2 ... In socialology: .... The colorful arrays of cultural expressionism from a society of people.
We are all colored by the societies of people we associate with.
