Lizzy :

We didn't drop it. They did.

But whites are referred to as whites.

shaddadonnn :

How? I’m trying to figure out when we started doing this 😭

I wonder why this is labelled by TT as an ad. what are you selling besides truth?

For me, 'people of color' feels the same as 'colored people' but I'm white so I'm probably missing something

JayBee :

We who?

e.Adams :

James brown along with Jesse Jackson smh

King White :

Nah it’s how we took the N word …we take every slander every bad part that’s out on us and absorb it ..we are black we absorb everything….nothing absorbs us

joepena7 :

Weehooo :

I didn’t think we were doing that?

just.panda09 :

Last I checked we have not

jpa :

I’ve read textbooks and had teachers and professors refer to black people as “blacks”. It never sat right with me; thank you for vocalizing this!

Just-iz ✌🏾🫶🏾👊🏾 :

Its always Black people/person for me. While we're at it, it's also undocumented immigrants too because they say that other term to dehumanize people

iladred :

no Black person says "Blacks". you made that up. Black is shortened identifier for Black American. the reasoning behind it you can look up and learn.

sonjajackson562 :

YEP..WE ARE BLACKS AND THEY ARE WHITES 😳

Nex Jenn :

If we're friends, it's Black people. and the B is capitalized cuz we show respect. 💕

Lexi❤️ :

I say black folks, I cringe when anyone says "Blacks"
