  Colored - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Colored and Colored People (or Colored Folk in the plural sense) are North American terms that were commonly used to describe Black people, but also included Asian (brown)/(yellow), Chicano (bronze or brown), and Native American (red).
The term "colored" in particular (along with "Negro") has fallen out of popular usage in the United States over the last third of the 20th century, and is now archaic and potentially derogatory, except in certain narrow circumstances such as the name of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

 Free people of color - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Free people of color were an important part of the history of the Caribbean during the slave period.
In some cases these were runaways, who just hid in the towns among free people of color and tried to maintain a low profile, and in other cases they were "living as free" with the permission of their master, sometimes in return for payment of rent, but the master had never officially registered their liberty.
Free coloreds often provided much of the leadership for the newly-freed, as in Haiti where Toussaint Louverture, the national liberator, and several of his top generals were former free coloreds, and the United States, where many of the fl elected officials during Reconstruction were pre-Civil War freedmen.

 ZNet Commentary: People of Color Talk is Cheap
Within the group of Black people, there are men and women, there are children and adults, there are wealthy and poor, there are powerful and disenfranchised, there are those with access to resources and those without, there those with legal status and those without.
Collapsing all of these groups under the rubric of ‘People of Color’ does exclude those at the top of the hierarchy (white people) but it leaves the rest of the hierarchy intact.
But if the autonomous space is a ‘people of color’ space where highly privileged people of color interact with much less privileged people of color, the most oppressed still have no space, and can now be denied a voice, of their own.

 White Dependence on People of Color
Our dependence on people of color even extends to our need to have them as spokespeople for our ideologies and agendas: thus, the proliferation of high-profile conservatives of color who bash their own people for us, so we don't have to do it alone.
If there were no fl and brown folks around then whites would have no one to blame but themselves for the crime that occurred; no one to blame but themselves when they didn't get the job they wanted; no one to blame but themselves when their lives turned out to be less than they expected.
