Americans - Sense of humour, big ask.

This I always find amusing, from the article: National Association for the Advancement of Colored People

Yet I am told calling somebody Colored is a big no no. So what is it, we can use it but you can not?

I suspected it might be the case but a quick Google shows that the NAACP was established in 1939 when blacks were called 'colored' among other things.

Yeah, well, NCAA team names and mascots predate 1939 but there's always an outcry when a PC group decides that a name like the "St. John's Redmen" aren't politically correct.

They need to change their name if colored isn't the preferred term...bottom line. I don't care how long they've had it.

Different people prefer different terms. *Shrug* It's really as simple as that.

No, if you call a black person "colored," it won't go over well...it's not the preferred or PC term nowadays.

Depends on the person. My stepfather is black, and yes, he prefers that term. His parents refer to themselves as 'colored'. Way back to call someone 'black' was incredibly insulting as it was regarded as an insult in regards to skin tone, not a indication of race.

It seems to be "different story" when a white guy jokes on someone black yet is 110% okay when a white guy is the butt of a black comedians jokes..

It is only natural to mock a bunch of dead beats, irrespective of color or race. Hence your comment "Rednecks", which is actually a racist stereotype.

Over the past month I have had a number of friends visit from Australia and the UK. They did not stop laughing at how ghetto gangster kids actually think they are cool and that their dress sense is also cool.... I learned from a young age that if you can dish it out, be prepared to take it..

They must be stuck in a time warp. I'd actually pay someone money to go to a group of black people and refer to them as "colored"...just for the entertainment purposes.

Hell, I suppose I'm a colored person. My skin is pale in color...technically, that's a color.
