"colored people" Maybe if you live in Sweden that is ok to say, but here in America, it is racist. How does the NAACP feel on this subject? Read my post above yours.

White is the presence of all color...so if anything, white people are the colored ones. Yeah I know. I was just being sarcastic.

I gotta say, whereas most people responding in this thread are griping about the use of the phrase "colored people", I gotta gripe about another thing stated by the OP, that being... it sounds eerily like the same MO of the killer in Dirty Harry ... not really. It really doesn't sound anything like the primary antagonist of "Dirty Harry", that being the "Scorpio Killer". Yes, someone of African-American descent is targeted and killed by Scorpio, that being a young male child, but it is not African-Americans that are the only target of Scorpio. His first victim shown at the beginning of the film is a young woman in a swimming pool, shot by Scorpio from another rooftop across the way. His ransom note claims another target of his to be a "Catholic Priest". The prompt for the big chase between Callahan and Scorpio, Callahan with ransom (and a knife and wire, and being tailed by his partner) being led from payphone to payphone to Scorpio, is another victim of Scorpio, a young teenage girl whom he has kidnapped, raped, and buried alive. Callahan has to make it in time, or else the girl runs out of air and dies. And then, the final targets of Scorpio are an entire school bus loaded with kids. "Dirty Harry" is one of my favorite movies, and my dad is a big fan of Clint Eastwood. I wasn't gonna stand by while somebody misappropriated it for a totally dissimilar situation. It's only similar on a very basic level, in that both happened to target black people at some point. -CMD

Colored people........its all how you word it , negroes could be considered offensive too if were being nit picky.
Pretty much every people that arent Caucasian could be considered colored.

Colored people is considered pretty offensive here in the States. Black is ok. African American is the PC term.
