TBH the term "colored" has so many meanings in different countries, I feel like the term is meaningless. Originally, in the United States, it meant black people, so it developed negative, although not necessarily as out right offensive connotations as the n word due to its association with signs during segregation that would say "coloreds only." But now, it’s used by politically correct people as a polite way to say "non white people" by saying "people of color" which can apply to all non-white Europeans including East Asians who have white skin. Then in South Africa, it doesn’t refer to fully black people, it only refers to people who are half white and half black and nobody else. It’s also a little but dumb if you think about it since from a scientific perspective black isn’t a color, it’s the absence of color, so technically white people have color and black people don’t so the term doesn’t really make sense. Unless you mean the presence of melanin in which case blacks have more of it than whites. But melanin isn’t really "color."

So basically, colored can mean anything except white people, or it can mean white people if you’re a know-it-all Reddit atheist Mensa member sort of guy who likes saying, "Um, actually."

I don't know if it was but the term colored feels multicultural.
What about other terms like spook, coon, or darky. How did those terms come about?
Were they ever just valuations? I've heard livestock refered to as change.

Well, i mean it is pretty well known that niggers are unable to perceive abstract concepts such as time. Thanks to their primitive brains that are only capable of supporting an average of three hundred words, they live in an a state of eternal present, much like a dog.
They do not have an understanding of the past(explaining why they so feverishly hold onto "muh slavery" despite it being something every other ethnic group has experienced and moved on from) or future. Actual pureblooded africans dont even seem to have a concept for being inbetween two states(such as being midway up a tree)

I’m just going to point out that most African Americans are from west Africa and west African languages are tonal. Since tonal languages have more sounds than non-tonal languages, tonal languages usually have fewer homophones. So a speaker of a west African language would actually have to remember more words since they don’t have as many words that sound the same but have different meanings. And actually if you look at how many words west African languages have vs English, the difference isn’t really that large. For example, English is estimated to have between 170,000 and 1 million words (there are different ways to count, for example, are run and running two words or two versions of the same word). Yoruba has about 450,000 words. So they’re actually on the same order of magnitude in terms of vocabulary. (Which should be obvious if you’re not an idiot).

European languages also don’t have tone, so in a way west African languages are more complex, since they distinguish between sounds European languages don’t distinguish between. Before colonization, sub Saharan Africans also did have writing systems. The Igbo people in Nigeria for instance wrote using Nsibidi, which is a writing system where every word had its own character similar to Chinese (which also coincidentally is a country that has tonal languages). The memorization of a different symbol for every word is more complex than memorizing an alphabet with a fixed number of symbols.

Anyway, a belief in racism shows that you’re not smart. Because hypothetically, let’s imagine a world where Africans actually were less intelligent than white people on average. Just because I’m black and you’re white, that doesn’t mean you have the average IQ for a white man and I have an average IQ for a black man. I can still be smarter than you. The mean average wealth or intelligence of a group says nothing about you as an individual because you’re a sample size of one. Even if it were true that blacks were low IQ (which is false by the way), I’m still smarter than you are so it doesn’t matter.

It’s the same fallacy of living vicariously through the wealthy and powerful. Yeah if you’re a white supremacist you might feel good about yourself because the British empire was the largest empire, and white majority countries have so much wealth and so much power. You might look at Elon Musk and think, "Wow, white people are so smart." Bro, none of that’s you. You don’t control anything. You’re not rich. You’re just a pawn in somebody else’s game. Maybe you’re one of the white chess pieces, and maybe you’re winning against the black chess pieces. You’re still just a pawn. It doesn’t mean you’re going to make it until checkmate. You’ll be gone long before that happens.

…that and the British empire doesn’t exist anymore. It’s not popular to say it. But think about it: white people had the most powerful empires in the past, now those empires don’t exist. If you had more yesterday than you have today, are you really winning? Nobody in the world is honest about this, and I’m not going to say it.

White supremacist empires and nations have a nasty habit of going extinct for some reason. I wonder why. Is it because the Jews control the world? Wait a minute, but if whites are superior because they can control blacks but no wait a minute, Jews are evil because they can control whites, what if Jews are actually racially superior to white people and white people aren’t honest about it?

Blah blah blah, white people are superior because they controlled Africa, Jews are evil because they controlled Europeans, blah blah blah why do blacks call us evil.
You know how stupid this contradiction sounds? White people sound exactly like Jews.

The Supreme Court also decided that succession is illegal and statehood is eternal so succession from the United States would be considered and act of war, so the probability the United States would actually use those nuclear weapons is higher than one might think.

Bleh, "Jews aren’t people." If you’re so superior why can’t you defeat these supposed sub-humans. Hell I’m black, if Africans are inferior, how come every single white empire in Africa failed? Up until the 1990s, Europe had a higher population than Africa. If Europeans are so smart and we really are just monkeys, how come Africa has twice as many people as Europe now and how come the fastest growing economies are in Africa?

I'll break my issue down a little.
As an American nearly every other country has had an actual identity that corresponds through some form of history. Yes a lot of wars happened. Yes cultures overtook each other and interbred. The fights are still going. To me, it seems outside of my country people used to have a sense of identity, maybe solidarity, with their communities on a smaller scale, and within their country on a larger scale. Levels of civic pride.
Imperialism brought people back to origin countries. So what is the United States. We could probably throw Canada in there as well but it's beside my point.
Why are we identifying through colors? The U.S. was forced into this expansionist land. It feels like erasing heritage in exchange for ''equal' footing.' SBG you even seem to accept your color identity. Let's see, we have the colors black, white, brown, let's add yellow and red. Once travel seemed reasonable between Europe and North America it seems that imperialism took advantage of expansionist markets.
There aren't many distinctly nomadic cultures. Romani have their identity. So what was the need to erase the European lineage of those in the new world? A lot of locations around the United States held onto their communities. It has really only been recently that these communities have disintegrated. I bet the identity through color has changed in understanding in a different way in the last 80yrs than over a 100 years ago. So why does a first step towards dehumanization bring equality in some people's minds?

Tbh it’s been my experience that if you don’t look white and you go to a non-English speaking country, people don’t necessarily see you as an American. What people think of you is mostly determined by what culture they’re from. For example, if someone is only exposed to black people from Africa, they might just see a black person and start speaking to you in French instead of English.
