You can't tell people to say one thing and then change your mind and not tell anyone.
As for the people who said Sticks was saying "coloured", they are just showing their ignorance.

A lot of black people don't like to be called "coloured" and its deemed as racist by many black people. The point I was illustrating is that Sticks was going on about how certain words are offensive, yet he mentioned something along the lines of "people of colour", which is essentially the same thing except in a more polite manner. As I've said many black people find that word offensive so its a bit hypocritical to request the thread title have "***" removed when he wrote that in his post.
If any race is coloured is us white people.
