I grew up in the South. I truly believed that when the adults around me referred to a "colored" person, that they were indeed colored...all the wonderful colors I could imagine as a child.
One day my stepmother said we were going to go over to a "colored" ladies house. I got so excited! I couldn't wait to see someone with all the colors of the rainbow.
