In the 1950s colored people was the PC term, but not anymore. What is the PC term for them these days in the states then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letsdothis Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 4 hours ago, Ridgerunner said: How would I know the true reason for your post when I saw no connection between the "Essential Guide" and Berensen's book? As far as I knew "Essential Guide" was a different book written by someone other than Berensen. As far as Amazon, I have never bought anything there and I never will as long as Jeff Bezos is the CEO, so I know nothing about their web page. That didn't stop you from making a completely irrelevant, disparaging remark about a post that had absolutely nothing to do with you. First of all, the post was for Foamy to let him know his link worked. It was NOT for you. Secondly, I posted the link to the book, which has the title of the book right in it. All you had to do was read and click the link and all would have been revealed. But, that couldn't happen because you have your head up Dumpy's ass, so you hate Bezos, just like he does and probably only because he does. We should call you little Dumpy. BTW, that is NOT a compliment. "As far as Amazon, I have never bought anything there and I never will as long as Jeff Bezos is the CEO" That's what my Grandmother used to call, cutting off your nose to spite your face. And you STILL haven't responded to the reason I sent my first post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a perfectly normal term used in the UK. This might help, but using various terms to describe people of color is still different for the different races (ie--it is ok for a black person to call another one a Nig___, but not ok for a white person use the N word) Column: Why is ‘people of color’ OK but not ‘colored people’? A reading list for white folks WWW.CHICAGOTRIBUNE.COM After an earlier column, emails poured in from white people who said they had no idea that “colored” was offensive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest until the blacks or coloureds get rid of that massive chip on their shoulders nothing will ever improve. Yes they may well have been badly treated many many decades ago, slave trade and all that, but to keep harping on about past history ain't gonna help them at all in fact it's just making it worse. The white community ain't helping much either.JMO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgerunner Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Now that the racial protests are winding down the news media will soon be pushing the covid-19 crisis again. Once again stressing how we need to continue to keep the economy shutdown because of the certain second wave that will soon be upon us. Time to drag out "doom and gloom" Dr. Fauci with another dire warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today I moved another $1000 from a money market account into two stock accounts just like I moved $4000 during the last big collapse. That paid off big time for me. Hope my latest move does too.

If money can be made during depressing times it's best to go for it if you have the disposable income available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
