He does ... however ... I'll ask it ....

Truthseeker has not yet indicated such...so we are waiting for an explanation or an apology.

Since all skin contains pigment....all are considered "persons of color".
If by "color" you are referring to African-Americans....as an African-American I find the term "color" to be offensive. Yet, in any case; the comment is not "construed differently". People of all ethnicities make statements that are offensive, even at times against those of the same ethnicity.

As a Hispanic from the Caribbean w/ African blood ... I don't find the term offensive. Neither does the NAACP. Glad we can agree to disagree.

Historically and in the present-day vernacular, it refers to non-Caucasian.
