Why is the word "colored" used by the NAACP in its acronym. Why is the word "negro" used by the United Negro College Fund?

People don’t like to be called those words. Aren’t they words people used in a different era and have been branded as racist nowadays? Im pretty sure if I called a black dude a colored he would be pretty pissed off
