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.

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!

Colorism

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!"

colorism

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.

colorful

Interesting or diverse. Not drab or boring.

I've added a lot of colorful words to my vocabulary by using urban dictionary.

colored

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.
