POC ? Person of color ? What color ? White ? Is POC the new "woke" term ?

Her life is still impacted today ? Kind of like those unproven accusations of voter fraud. Synthetic also said he is going to use his white privilege to speak up at BLM demonstrations, saying he has seen discrimination affecting people he knew. Again, with no proof. Some people look for excuses for failures or butt hurt feelings.

Also, the claim of whites having white privilege, also comes with no proof. I have none. All my privileges I earn because of who I am.

If you really want to be woke remember, blacks sold blacks into slavery.

One of the richest men in the country during slavery was a black slave owner/trader. He married a White woman.

Black women get treated like dirt in much of advertising. When you see the photo or commercial with a Black man the woman he's with has to be much lighter skinned than him or she is White. Advertising doesn't want Black women. That's systemic racism.

There was an interesting post seen online about Whites having every color or eye and every color of hair and having different skin tones but they aren't people of color.

A member of the forum is a forum member.
A user of drugs is a drug user.
A director of personnel is a personnel director.
Why is person of color any more acceptable than colored person?

Social Justice is not a disease, it is a scourge.

People that promote it should be treated like those who do not wear masks in public.

History. It's the unpleasant aftertaste of history and the circumstances that are still remembered when the words "colored person" was more freely spoken and written in a society that was more "white" than what we have today.

Everybody else on the forum has the stones to post their own thoughts, and not quote someone else uncreditedly. That's to be respected.

I don't know if that is a reference to me, but those are my own words. They are words that came directly to my mind. I did not find those words online.

I stand corrected.
