1. I have a question, for people labeled "colored."

As the descendant of Abolitionists on both sides, I want to support Equal Rights. Family members on both sides married Native American ladies soon after arrival in North America, and some of my great-grandparents had Black houseguests in their little houses a few times (and, with NO servants, they waited on those Black people themselves and were proud to do so). Some great-grandparents immigrated from Denmark; I was born with pale freckled skin, blue eyes, and red hair. It has been obvious to me all my life that I AM NOT WHITE. My skin is a pinkish shade of beige. NOBODY IS REALLY WHITE. Calling ourselves white is an obvious delusion. Furthermore, my son has recently married a "non-white" "colored" lady born in South Korea. So I have a "colored" daughter-in-law, and someday I will have one or two "non-white" "colored" grandchildren. If I come someday to a place with restrooms for either "white" or "colored" people, will it offend any "colored" people if I use the "colored" restroom? As far as I'm concerned, I'm a color, too. And I can't stand those racist "white" supremacists.
