You do as you feel. I know what side I will be on.

I'd be more of a danger to myself than I would be to anyone else.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

German state minister for culture says that the Left, by pushing for a more gender neutral language and using "word creations like 'People of Color'" is shutting up not the discriminators but the moderate, democratic center. :mellow:

I thought POC was a pretty normal and accepted term, not a sign of POLTICAL CORRECTNESS GONE MAD RAWRRRH. :unsure:

People of color was a clunky, contrived attempt by Jessie Jackson to enlist the support of Asians in minority issues.  I don't hear it used much anymore.  It doesn't offend my anti-PC sensibilities.

These guys were in the line in DC tonight. No badge, insignia, uniform, or identifying info. Rumors said they are corrections officers. I dunno, I'm no expert but it seems a bad idea for a prison guard to have a knife strapped to his chest.

Shift change: National guard has been replaced with a different unit. One officer identified himself to protestors as being with "DOJ", another said he was from California, and one has a Bureau of Prisons patch on his vest. No name plates.

So, I deliberately don't read his thread so that I don't have to deal with his bullshit. And yet here he is, bringing his bullshit into a thread that should have nothing to do with his dribble.

Please stop encouraging it here.

Unfortunately he is allowed post outside of his sandbox. I'd recommend in threads where it is likely he will come spewing trash to keep an eye out and left d'or who is posting and then just scroll on by.

I wonder how many of these law enforcement guys are connected to right-wing militias.

In addition to their day job?

I'd say it still gets used quite often. I just opened a guardian article by a contributor in Washington and its first sentence mentioned people of color.

QuoteThis man isn't a protester.  He was just a guy sitting at a traffic light when cops shot his car with a tear gas round. He got out to yell at them because his pregnant wife is in the vehicle. So they opened fire on them.

Quotepolice are beating random people who aren't even protesting because it's not about looting or rioting- it never was about order. this is collective punishment for daring to speak out against the police.

QuoteA police officer in California shot and killed a kneeling man after mistaking a hammer in the man's pocket for a gun, the authorities said. The man, Sean Monterrosa, who was Hispanic, was attempting to flee a Walgreens that was being looted.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I think its a lame and annoying term, but I guess we have to have one.

It is nicer than non-whites.
Yeah, I think it's also a bit more self-explanatory than the UK term (similar to Jesse Jackson's intent) of "Political Blackness" - but which is a more difficult term now. I see people of colour used fairly regularly and it's making more headway in the UK than it was a few years ago.
