What is the difference between Colored People, as in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People?
If the term "colored person" is politically incorrect, why is "person of color" politically correct?" They're the same thing -- same words even.

What is the difference between Colored People, as in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and just plane "colored people?" And, don't call me racist; it's just a question.

I didn't mean to ask it twice. I edited the question to make it more clear but couldn't delete the original.

They can call them self that and the n word and all sorts of things
In the U.K. it seems to have become the 'in' thing to refer to a black person as 'a person of colour'. Well I'm British, born of British parents both of whom were born of British parents for as long ago as records show but I am not white (in fact none of my ancestors were white as far as I know). FOR ALL THOSE GENERATIONS WE WERE (AND STILL ARE) pink.
The only really white people I have ever seen are albino people. Those are people from many races who have a condition which prevents them having pigment in their skin. I've seen African albino people, eskimo albino people etc. etc. and they are WHITE. Those people usually referred to as white people (British, French, German, Dutch etc.) are not actually white.
As being human , we all have different color of skins , if not being racist or color bar or color prejudice ,we all are the same as being the people of the world. So for social point of view we are the same in all respect , living under the same law of every country in the world. So it the drama of he political people point of view, then pretend to call colored people as person of color as to your mention. If political people do not posses of being racist , then there would no problem of having color different of all mankind in the sight of GOD.
'Colored person' means a black person. It's a euphemism from decades ago. The NAACP goes back a long way, founded in 1909. I think they should have changed their name long ago, but perhaps being recognized as the respectable 100-year-old organization they are is more important to them.
'Person of color' means anyone who isn't white--Hispanics, Asians, Polynesians, etc. are 'people of color'. The point being that racial discrimination isn't JUST a problem for blacks, but for anyone who isn't white.
