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.

It is part of how some folks think.
I managed an IT dept and my sole employee was black. Great guy with a great sense of humor.
One day, the Director of HR, yes, HR, emailed support, asking that someone come take a look at her “colored printer”.
He joked that as the colored IT guy, he would go fix it. ROFL.
This woman was raised as a racist, but her role precluded her speaking her mind.
Her manner of thinking did out her, nonetheless.
