Rep. Eli Crane used the derogatory phrase in describing his proposed amendment to a military bill. Democratic Rep. Joyce Beatty asked that his words be stricken from the record.

Exactly. It used to be the common politically correct terminology. I don’t see how it can suddenly be called a “slur” any more than ‘black’ is a slur.
NAACP - National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People
context matters, a white congress person is using a phrase in Congress that historically was used in Congress to deny people’s rights. these politicians want to “make America great again” they want to undo civil rights.
A word does not deny anybody’s rights. “Coloured Person” is just as politically correct as “black” or “African American”. In fact “Coloured Person” is the most accurate of the 3 politically correct terms.

Just because racist used a thing does not make the thing itself bad. Racists used phones also. So phones are bad?
The N word was also once politically correct
It’s such an odd word. Not like “fuck” or “cunt” or something like that. You are literally not allowed to write it or say it. I’m not even sure people let themselves think it, instead thinking “n word” inside their heads. I can’t think of any other word that is so much like actual god-fearing blasphemy. And yet, you can buy a random rap album and the word will be all over it. It’s even used as a term of endearment between black men who grew up together.
Can anyone think of any other word that is treated almost as if it has magical powers?
How old are you? LOL
