Why are black people considered people color and not white people?

[Anonymous]

Black people for the most part are just really one color black. Hair color all the same skin color all the same eye color all the same.

White people their hair color comes in many varieties skin tone comes in many varieties eye color comes in many varieties. In every way white people are people a color not black people. We need to start using the proper term and call black people what they are just black-and-white people are the people of color

[hahahmm]

Politics. For example when white people started marrying Indian princesses they made sure to change the local laws so that a white person with an indian parent could still be considered white. But only in states where the ruling families had that kind of blood line.

I have had a discussion with a black girl I know and the people of colour term annoys the hell out of her. She says white people go all kinds of colours including red when they are embarrassed and most of us aren’t even “white” . I’ve had kids make comments about the colour of their skin been brown because they are mixed race and I’m like please show me your arm and I’m darker than them. We are all a shade of brown and if we were only black and white mixed race would be gray.

This is a really interesting question. I never thought about it like that. But you’re right, white people do have a larger variety of colors in their features than black peoples do.

[FunkyMonkee]

Normally, because anything white is devoid of colour and anything not white is, therfore, coloured! But, what's the fucking difference? It's ALL just skin and pigmentation!! It's NOT like ANYBODY can help being the colour they were born!

[Asker]

It's funny how few people actually read the whole question I'm not talking just about skin color eye color and hair color as well I know it's hard for low IQ people to read but come on

[FunkyMonkee]

I DID read the whole ting! Funny how people of low IQ can't understand what people say in response to their questions.

[Asker]

You did not read the whole thing if you did you would not have just pick and choose part of the question you're a joke all your comments are being removed because you are too stupid to post

White is absence of color. White pigmentation reflects all colors of light which leads to our eyes seeing a white complexion. Black absorbs all colors which is why we see black pigmentation the way it does.

Everything except for white is a spectrum of color. If colors are 0 to 100 on the spectrum of color. White is all the way to the left, black all the way to the right with the rest of the colors in between two extremes

[Shamiah02]

We black?
How many actual black people you met?
Most of us are different shades of brown.
White people called us black because black is a representation of evil and darkness and white is a representation of pureness.

[Asker]

All brown prove my point

[Shamiah02]

Nope because we also have black skinned blacks. Far less common but we are more than 1 color.
But it's obvious ya trolling so I'm dippin.

[Asker]

Basically the same color look at white people vastly more colorful

[doopayo]

The definition of person of color is literally anyone that’s no white. So your just loud and wrong

[Asker]

Yea they stole it there are just brown

[Seinna]

I was wondering the same thing... white people are the most "colourful", non whites are just different shades of brown. That being skin, eye and hair colour.

[andreasderjuengere]

Yep- the term ''people of colour'' is a quite unlucky choice.
But then: There also is a country called: ''the UNITED (haha) States of Somewhere''.
History is full of linguistic accidents.

[Razp_Sorbet]

White people have less melanin which is the skin pigment. Therefore white people have little to no colour.

[Asker]

Look at their hair color and eye color very colorful not just brown

[Razp_Sorbet]

People of colour is referring to skin tone not hair or eye colour.

[Asker]

Yet for no reason that's the point if they're only looking at skin they will call them black or brown not color

[Razp_Sorbet]

Poc is when referencing an entire group of people. Which can include black and brown.

[Asker]

Really however you look at it white people are the people of color.

[Anonymous]

Why are mixed people always considered black be never white?

[Asker]

Because Identifying as black gives you affirmative action Is access to many grants and scholarships. Just go look at the requirements to get into school versus a black versus a white you basically are getting just for showing up if you you're black who whatever say their white in our current society we have a black supremacist society after all

[Opinion Owner]

Wrong answer - it's because white people classify anyone with with darker skin than them as "black". And therefore exclude them. While black people welcome mixed people into their race white people go out of their way to keep their race "pure" - so while a mixed person can be called black and considered black, white people will never allow them to identify and connect with their white roots - which is sad.

[Asker]

No they don't white people come in actually many skin tones some are very more darker than others. You seem to be thinking it's like hundreds of years ago not understanding what's going on today very common for little kids just in school they don't understand.

There really is next to no white people who think that way but there's many black people who think that way it's actually very common for mixed race to be attacked by black people black people black people are very violent I've been attacked myself before as well they just started calling me a nazi because I drive a nice car. Started throwing rocks at my carBut this was near a college and they wore black panther protesters but protesters but we very much accept black supremacy in America You'll grow up and see the real world and realize America is a black supremacist country

[Opinion Owner]

That's a lie because if there were white people who supposedly held the opinions you say they do then they would be considered "people of color" and not white. It's a clear indicator when you don't have to look black to be black, but you don't have to look white to be white.

An no your andicotal experience doesn't prove anything, the fact that you speak so poorly of black people speaks for itself.

If you're dumb enough to believe that black people and mixed people are treated better than you in this country then you either have to educate yourself or get a therapist to work out your misplaced hatred.

Black people are not violent or dangerous, your prejudice and you just want to believe that they're some of the most generous people out there constantly giving to society that never gives back.

But I guess a racist old timer like you wouldn't understand that

[Asker]

White people are people a color the problem is black people stole it out of envy. If people are not white they come in multiple colors their eye colors are all different their hair color is different what color is a black person's hair Brown what color is their eyes Brown. This fact is black people are not people color.

Actually crime statistics prove black people are more dangerous. That's majority of crime Are from like 18 to 35 year old black males. Really if you just remove that group you can get rid of like 80% of the crime

[Opinion Owner]

Crime statistics don't prove that black people are more dangerous.

They prove that they are disproportionately believed to be dangerous by the white population which is why the act on those prejudices sentence them to harsher sentences for the same crimes compared to their whit counterparts.

Black people also have a higher disproportionate rate of being g falsely imprisoned

And no - black people didn't steal anything from you - you and your racially peers put yourself in the situation of being called white because you go out your way to classify anyone with slight tanned skin as black and exclude them, while black people accept them

[Asker]

Yeah you're a joke having the most crimes committed doesn't prove they're the most dangerous. Sorry all the data proves it. You just don't understand the real world you fail for the flex of promises propaganda is black supremacist propaganda I hope you get over your hatred one day and realize the problem is the black people and their supremacy

[SmokinAces2000]

Lol you sound dumb, there is very little skin variety in white people, black people come in hella different shades.

[Asker]

It's like stupid people don't read the whole question and then get confused they get confused I'm not talking just about skin color I know it's hard to read more than one line for people of your intelligence

[SmokinAces2000]

Again you sound stupid, just because I picked out one thing from what you said doesn’t mean I didn’t read it.

[Asker]

It's just because you could put the ignore the question Imagine something else is being asked doesn't make you stupid you're a joke all your posts are being removed from now on you're too stupid to be allowed to post here

[Grubhub]

Everybody is a person of color besides whites in terms of history. Now a days Hispanics and Asians can be pale because they breed with white people to improve they’re race. Get whiter

[anylolone]

Dark people are actually dark orange, white people are actually light orange, so I have no idea.

[Asker]

That's just skin color. If you add in hair color and eye color black people all have really just Brown white people have a whole rainbow. White people are people of color black people are just Brown

[anylolone]

But's it's all orange, regardless.
Blond is just light ginger.
I can concede with blue eyes, but that's a rarity.

[Asker]

Actually blues more common than other things like green that is also only in white. Really the fact is what color is a black person's hair brown what color is their eyes Brown.

White people their hair color comes in many same with their eye color white people are people of color not black people

[anylolone]

I'm Brazilian, I fucked black chicks with blue eyes, lol!

Brown is just orange.

[Asker]

That means they're not fully black. Usually mix at that point. The fact is black people are not people of color

[anylolone]

Nope, eumelanin is orange.

[DWornock]

Blacks are not black and whites are not white. Typically blacks are darker than whites.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Stupidity and superior complex. All humans have color. White people are actually light beige color.

[Anonymous]

I imagine because white people made up the black/white thing.

[noohair]

Wow, are you serious, all black people look the same?

[bighairy1]

This question is a form of racebaiting.

[Asker]

It's facts people just hate talking about facts because it makes people sad that's what's wrong with this world people like you who only think that matters is how they feel not the real world

[bighairy1]

If that were true, it would not pose that others are incorrect and state a corrective action. That's "provoking" for the sake of provocation, not for the sake of conversation. That is pitting speaker for or against the position.

[Asker]

Just keep going off on stuff that doesn't matter go on the question or all your posts are being removed from now on

[jasco]

It's due to racism and slavery.

[Jouth]

do you have a CMYK code?
