interestingly, was a very common term for a paint colour up until as recent as the mid 80s. It would be on Dulux, crown colour charts(& Ripolin for those old enough to remember) Personally, I've not heard it from anybody since I worked with a very rough floor laying team from Bristol at the hospital we was painting in the 90s. (just films & rap music now) I dont mix with a particulary genteel crowd either, general consensus is its just not done, obviously other unflattering words get used in certain company for all & sundry, but i've struggled to recall any use of it bar the rough bristol boys decades ago. Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents? Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

I'd ask again for those asking "why can't I say it?", Why they would want to? It's a highly derogatory word used in the past to dehumanise black people and a discussion far more historically complex for discussion on a football forum.

However, unfortunately for you racism is treating people differently due to their ethnicity. It doesn't change because you're non white. You just prefer anti white definitions because it gets you off the hook. Edited by Stirlingsays (10 Dec 2020 3.51pm) 'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.'

All I've done is question why a white person would want to use a derogatory term for a black person but the only answer I receive is "whataboutery". Racism isn't treating someone differently because of race, it's being prejudiced against them because of their race. If for example, I went into a European barber shop, they'd send me across to another barber who could cut my hair. Not racist in the slightest but would be by your own, confused definition of racism.

Edited by Stirlingsays (10 Dec 2020 3.51pm) I listened to many debates on that Sunday talk show on BBC1, ‘The Big Questions.’ While Kehinde Andrews was spitting bile across the floor he was trying, and failing, to argue that racism only exists if the person on the receiving end is the oppressed or something. It’s complete BS. The people who agree with this on a different day will say racism is simply racism or label and cancel someone as racist because they’ve made a minor slip up rather than they did something racist on this occasion. It’s such a load of cr&p, no wonder normal people aren’t giving it the time they might do if they just concentrated on specifics that can bring positive changes.
