Rep. Eli Crane, R-Ariz. referred to Black people as "colored people" Thursday in floor debate over his proposed amendment to an annual defense policy bill, prompting a stern rebuke from the former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus. Lawmakers were debating a series of GOP-backed amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act, which the House aims to pass by the end of the week.
I’m a 45yo white male, my parents taught me as a child the “colored people” was inappropriate. If my now 70 year old father who grew up in the south knew it was an inappropriate term 40 some odd years ago, then this clown knows it’s an inappropriate term now.
