[darryl del pino]

Colored implies a group of many colors. Persons who first used the term were not concerned about the identities of the ‘colored’ people. they just wanted to lump them all together. Coloreds. well, what color are you? We are Black people. Negro is the latin word for black. I do have a problem with the term African-American. It refers to nationality rather than race. can a white person be African-American? Sure they can. Take any white person born on the mother continent and if they come to the United States and become a citizen, they would be, in the truest sense, African-American. Similarly, a Black person born in Italy who becomes a citizen of this country, would be Italian-American. But we look and see a black man. Back in the day, we would say he is a colored man. So 50’s. Today, say Here is a black man.
