One such word they are attempting to re-write is the racial slur "colored" that was commonly used for discrimination during the Jim Crow era.

Though cult leaders in William Branham's "Message" cult of personality are now claiming that Branham's use of the racial slur "colored" was intended to describe "people with a variety of colors", Branham explicitly stated on several occasions that this phrase was describing people with "black cheeks" or black skin. 

Branham openly admitted that he hated black people, and did so using the racial slur:

How well I can call the time. In a little old saloon that had been used as a church where some colored people was preaching the Gospel, I was a southerner and didn't like colored people[1]
