I LOVED their movie, though: The Colored People. Whoopie and Oprah were amazing!

:bolt:

Sorry.

Is "people of color" what we are supposed to say now?

"I was talking to a person of color the other day..."
"I'll take a question from the gentlemen of color in the third row..."
"Excuse me, sir, of color, you dropped your wallet!"
"You know that guy, of color, that was at your office party?"
"My daughter's new boyfriend, of color, is very tall..."
"There were no actors, of color, in the Lord of the Rings trilogy..."

Nae, it's not for conversation, just politically correct titles and banners.

Ansel Adams was a master of of color and white photography.

Got home from work to find that Della had chewed up a very important personal item of mine that was fairly new. Cam left the bedroom door open when he left, its supposed to be closed. For some reason Della has a tendency to behave bad when its left open, and yup, she did.

on the plus side, if you squeeze her in the right way, you could use her as a massaging pillow.....

MIL due tomorrow. Flying from Heathrow. Currently closed. Wouldn't normally be irritating, but the kids' schedules tomorrow are a work of art (tapestry-style) and we do not need or want an uncertain airport time. Currently, It's me to hockey early morning with Thor while beest prepares lunches, then beest to away hockey with Hector, dropping Hebe off at the home rink on the way so she can get a ride to her swim meet with another swimmer who also happens to play hockey...while Thor and I head to the airport to pick grandma up, give her a packed lunch and a cup of tea in a travel mug and take her to the swim meet, hopefully in time for the start.....

I'm thinking this isn't going to happen, but I have no idea what the alternative will look like. I want to watch Hebe Swim her first meet as a 13+ :(

My uncles must all be pretty progressive based on last nights party. One of them has moved to black from colored. People of color is so long and clumsy that IRL I've only really heard it from white English and sociology majors of correct beliefs. I usually say black or use AA in educational settings. The uncles are a little freaked out by having a black nephew, so that is kinda fun to watch.

How did it work out?

I'm going to get fired. I'm having major motivational problems. I'm not doing incompetent work, just very little work at all.

There are no better prospects in this one horse town, and we have a lease that we can't get out of until next October.

Upside: I'm making epic progress on my own personal projects, but they probably won't bear enough fruit to put food on the table for another 6-12 months.

We finally heard from her. She's still there, back at the hotel....

So on the plus side I get to see Hebe's whole meet. although apparetly it's hot as Hades and twice as crowded in the bleachers.... time to change out of my hockey-mom triple layers!

Oh, the layers, the layers. Thank goodness for the layers. Glad you get to see the meet!

So when is her ETA?

One thing is for sure, the term African American is not accurate anymore.

What kind of work are you doing?

Aren't you paying attention, he's growing fruit. :lol:
