miserableoldgit Posted 13 March, 2009 Share Posted 13 March, 2009 Why that name though? Guy Gibson, who lead the "Dambuster" raids on the German dams had a black lab called "n****r". Don`t think that it was considered racsist in those days. I think that I even had a paint box when I was young with a colour called "n****r".

Gingeletiss Posted 13 March, 2009 Share Posted 13 March, 2009 Why that name though? Many think it's a racist term for a Black, when in fact, it's a term they coined themselves, and still use, but that's all right, it's only racist if we use it. W.O.G. was coined by the white overseers, when building the Suiz canal....it stood for Western Oriental Gentleman, but again, to use it, one is labled a racist. Hence no more Blackboard, Gollywog etc etc etc. A small minority in this country, have the biggest say. They make racists out of people, by their very actions......Go to Saudi, try and say something against them, and they're liberal.............but watch your back, and I mean...watch your back, as the religious police carry big canes.

Presumably a corruption of "negro" or "negroid"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole Posted 13 March, 2009 Author Share Posted 13 March, 2009 The Story of Little Black Sambo, a children's book by Helen Bannerman, was my favorite book when i was a child, but is suppose it's not PC anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junction 9 Posted 13 March, 2009 Share Posted 13 March, 2009 It's not the words that are offensive but the way in which you say them. Hence such words are now deemed unacceptable in society and rightly so. That's why the N word is used freely amongst black people as the connotation is different. You all knew this already but doesn't it make another lovely "we all be branded as racist" type theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mao Cap Posted 13 March, 2009 Share Posted 13 March, 2009 I saw a program on BBC2 recently with Louis Theroux. On that program a bizarre family church / cult was picketing US soldiers funerals with banners such as homo fags get what they deserve. I didn't see that family getting their just deserts as you've alluded to. As I recall, someone in a passing car chucked a rock at one of the kids. Kind of disappointing really, a casual perusal of the comments on pretty much any YouTube video ever created had led me to believe that any mild disagreement with an American would lead to them kikin ur limey fagget euro ass (sic). Also, I don't know what's more depressing, this thread or it's subject matter. I mean, f*cking hell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, and when they raided the dams the dog's name was the codeword for a successful breach,- but when they show the film on TV they blank it out, and in the planned remake the dog won't be in it at all.

Guest admin Posted 13 March, 2009 Share Posted 13 March, 2009 Pretty obvious that this thread's gone way beyond the level of acceptable "debate", really. Those who have contributed (in the loosest possible sense) should count themselves lucky they're still able to post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
