I assumed the author was colored as well.

Colored white or colored black?

John Doe

colored in the common usage of the term

Once upon a time we were called "colored" people, but that was long before John Doe's time.

I don't know what we're going to do with him.

colored black?

Took me a while to make my kids understand why we are called black instead of brown...I'm still not so sure they got it I'm not so sure I get it

Yeah. That usage isn't common anymore, unless you spell out NAACP. Just looks like a funny word now.........

John Doe

I hear (political correctness) African Americans (/ political correctness) refer to themselves as "people of color" quite often.

I remember back in the 1960's it was what all black people were called and they wanted it that way, they had a saying I'm Black and I'm Proud...can you tell I'm old.

I'm not really white either I'm more pink than white.
