[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is fine. Okay, got it. Poor guy. Relax, Benedict. It's crazy on this side of the Pond. http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/27/entertainment/benedict-cumberbatch-colored-apology/ [/quote] Do you get it? You don't seem to. The NAACP's name is a historical relic that they keep to link the organization to its early, groundbreaking history. Virtually NO black people actually refer to themselves as "colored" anymore. This actor must not know many and maybe he picked it up watching old-timey black and white movies... Weird.[/quote] I actually think it was a slip and he meant to say 'people of color' -- that is the feeling i get when consider the context of the rest of his comments. I am a black person by the way[/quote]
