Lindsay Lohan: Hooray for the "Coloreds"

76. Why is this so shocking to anyone? It is a general term in Long Island that black people are called colored - and they call Italians Wops and the Irish are Mics - what no one knows this about Long Island? Oh, and they all think they are normal!

77. I am biracial (black mom/white dad). I consider myself black. From what I understand, Obama also considers himself black. People have been talking about him being bi racial for a long time. For a while growing up I didn't feel accepted in either group since whites considered me black and blacks considered me "half white"...or more offensively and stated by another user "an oreo". Buster is probably one of the few people posting right now that has had any sort of higher education...a semester of an anthropology course is all it takes to start understanding the difference between race and culture/ethnicity. Although I don't agree that it doesn't matter that he is biracial/black/not white...right now I think it's a huge deal and a huge first step...in time it won't matter. I feel confident that my great great grandchildren are going to be laughing about how stupid we all were to be arguing back and forth over whether someone was black/white/mixed whatever....when the bottom line is the mans humanity and that underneath it all we're the same.

78. 49. So if we are to be all "one race" then we should shut down Mexican restuarants, Chinese take-outs and Pizza Huts because they represent a particular culture?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That makes no sense what so ever. Chinese, Italian, Mexicans...those are ethnicities, based on nations of origin, shared culture, geography... the restaurants are serving the food of their culture. Don't mess with me pizza, Tangina with your crazy logic!

82. Let's give her a break on this one. We all use this term often if we know about it or not.

83. Seriously? I feel so sorry for this girl. She obviously was trying to have a big girl conversation with a child-like mentality.
Why doesn't her manager or family help her out. You can tell she was clueless. Campaign supporter for Obama ???? and yet she referred to him as a colored. In TWO YEARS of campaigning NO ONE told her that "colored" is offensive? I am kinda thinking she jumped on the boat at the victory party. Obviously Obama had more money for a party than Mc Cain so obviously Obama was going to have the most ack-ohol! THAT is when she decided to be a supporter! Freak pale skin!

I question how many ethnic friends she has. She doesn't have ANY that would say "hey lush, put the bottle down. I'm not "colored" I am bi-racial or African-American or Spanish or Mexican." Seriously No one??? Even Paris had Nicole!

84. Obama plans US terror trials to replace Guantanamo

President-elect Obama's advisers are crafting plans to close the Guantanamo Bay prison and prosecute terrorism suspects in the U.S., a plan that the Bush administration said Monday was easier said than done.


Here we go America! we may be getting a taste of the real Obama pretty soon........

85. Why are these shows still interviewing her? Does anyone really care what Lesbian Lohan thinks about anything?

86. Tumbleweeds in the Desert : Love your moniker. I too, have been puzzled how ALL other races , except those of EUROPEAN EXTRACTION, call themselves people of color, what is this sh*t ? IT is European AMericans who made this country great, long before we were invaded by ALIENS , here breaking our laws and using our country as their own personal trash heap. imo.

87. So he wants to bring these thugs over here and extend to them our freedoms and privileges. Nice job Obama at showing why you were not the man for the job.

88. 78. Just more crap from the deluded left wing . You can't have it both ways, these folks call themselves , "WOMEN OF COLOR" then become offended when Linsey calls them colored , Is it me or are they all confused ?

89. Obviously, Lohan voted for Barack and promoted for others to do so, I don't believe this incident was racial though it's incredibly important that it be pointed out. Some people don't realize that the word 'colored' is not just outdated but offensive. My mom's boyfriend used to say it, completely oblivious to the implications. I let him know and it's been all good ever since.

90. I am a AMERICAN who happens to be BLACK and I in no way found her remark offensive. I don't think she meant any harm in using the WORD "COLORED". What I think is that she was trying to sound educated and missed the mark by hundred miles.

It's Lindsey Lohan for PETE'S SAKE what do you expect.....as Tom Leykis would say, she's just an attention Wh*re.

Let's move America.....was this even worth reporting??????
