Don't call black people colored. Black is fine. Colored...is out along with Negro and Negroid.

Question: Where do you live??? I was born in Ohio and we never would have dreamed of using the term "colored" to describe black people. Here in KY, however, the only terms that black people seem to take offense to are ones that begin with "N." By the way, negroid is a scientific term. There are different mixes of pigments and skeletal builds (i.e. Mongoloid and Caucasoid) that anthropologists seperate humans into. Negroid is one of them.
