Love the little Negro boy

shareBut he's not as cute as Fred Savage.
shareFred had a lot of charisma but puberty hit him like a MF. Same with Paul. I was lucky with puberty, I lost weight and my chiseled bone structure emerged.
shareJust so you know, Fred Savage is one of the producers on this new reboot of the Wonder Years, and has also directed some of the episodes.
shareSavage has currently been let go from the show---details here:https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/fred-savage-fired-wonder-years-misconduct-1235142475/
shareIsn't that considered the N word, too? I thought Al Sharpton outlawed all N words.
shareI don't take orders from pseudo-left charlatan Al Sharpton
shareNobody has "outlawed" all N-words. What a stupid thing to say. And why do white people constantly bring up Al Sharpton as if he speaks for all black people? He dosen't, and he's never claimed to. Just like the orange idiot never spoke for all white people, either.
share20 years from now, the word "Black" is likely to be considered offensive to describe people, and all of us who use it now will be retroactively judged and cancelled for using "the B Word" 20 years ago.
It's never-ending.
Kinda like what happened with "colored people" now being "people of color"? I never knew the former became a slur. It was an appropriate term to use when/where I grew up.
shareExactly.
To an extent, I can understand standards of polite terminology changing over time. What I can't understand is this new trend of going back into peoples' pasts and judging them for not adhering to current standards years or even decades before current standards existed.
It is not anyone's fault that they are a product of their time.
Because the term "colored people" is stupid and outdated, and it was some stupid label white people had slapped on black people decades ago. "People of color" is a new recent term black people decided to call themselves----one that was not a derogatory term created by white people. Basically, black people have decided what to call themselves, period. Just because something was appropriate to use where you grew up, dosen't mean it's appropriate any more. It's easy to dismiss being called a stupid racist name when you're never been the one called by that same name.
shareIt doesn't matter what you say, how you say it, or the inflection or the intent, blacks will find a way to shit on it, turn it to shit color, and make it smell like shit. They shit on everything which is why they are cursed by god
shareBlack people have been called and been calling ourselves "black" for a good couple of hundred years. You're way behind the times with that silly claim of years. And as a white person, you don't get to dictate who is called what. End of story.
shareTo the OP: And your point is, what? The term is black, btw, because that's what black people call themselves. You're just a troll who used that term to try and get a rise out of people, that's all. The boy does have a name, you know.
shareI liked Stymie better. He was alot funnier
shareThe fact that "colored people" is racist, but "people of color" is okay, illustrates how completely irrational and idiotic the entire constantly-changing nomenclature game is.
shareUh, no, because the two terms don't even mean the same thing. There's nothing "irrational and idiotic" about the subject to black people. Your assumption that it is simply because you know nothing of why black people adopted the term "people of color" is really ridiculous and condescending. Let me explain, since you didn't even bother to look up either term. "Colored people" is a dumb, outdated racist term that white people--mainly from the south--called black people from slavery times on up until the 1960s, when the Black Power came to fruition and black people decided what the hell they wanted to be called, because they no longer gave a damn about accepting whatever stupid labels or names white people had slapped on them. The term "people of color" was put forward in the late '70s by black feminists as a term that was more inclusive of other non-white people who were allies with black people in the struggle for civil rights. Here's some more history about it---it's simply a term black people came up with for themselves that defined who they were, and not anything that someone else used to define them: https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2014/03/30/295931070/the-journey-from-colored-to-minorities-to-people-of-color
