Shamo 319 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Being part of a minority I used to get offended every time I went out carrying out my chosen sport. Some of the abuse and name calling I had to take on the Chin was, sometimes, deserving of a smack in the Mouth.....which may or may not have happened occasionally. Negro is a colour in some Countries and these Women have made money off the back of guys lusting after them in Magazines!!............When I was in the Forces I have pulled many a 'Pud' when 'away' on duty over some Magazine Crumpet....and they knew it!! Getting offended seems to be the norm these days. Racist, Sexist, ageist, all labels used now, then yes maybe that's me.....but isn't that freedom of choice and opinion. 4 million people paraded in Paris over the Charlie Hebdon shootings, displaying freedom of speech should be allowed. Is it only freedom of speech when others say it can be and certain things can't be said??? I have been called all sorts, spat at, sprayed with ammonia and even my Kids weren't saved the abuse. Complain to the old Bill and they just shrugged it off, as a risk of the job. Rant over.......If I knew how to, I would give Ken my support on the social media things my Kids go on. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paulnix 426 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 I no clue what he said as I couldn't be doing with all the moral outrage and lost interest when I stumbled upon a link,of a pig ice skating. But in my humble opinion I would just as sooner someone said i was a Negro than call me "of colour " which to me just screams racist and harks back to the USA of the early to mid twentieth century but the P.C brigade just love to say that atm.

Silversnake 1,099 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 I don't quite understand your rant, and I have never understood why it's bad to call someone black, Negro, of color or whatever else. I always thought it bad to call a black person a nig%&r but black people call each other nig%&r all the time, so it is only bad for whites to say nig%&er. Is this not rascist to whites. I am confused! Anyway what has this got to do with running dogs and lurchers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dare 1,103 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Some people get offended over anything then you have other idiots who would get offended for people lol. I got mates of all races and religions and the reason were mates is because noone gives a shit. If they couldn't handle abit of racist banter then we wouldn't even be mates. To be honest id like to think most people in the real world dont give a shit. Some dealer who sold me pills at a rave told me he had his old iPhone for sale ages ago. Mine broke so arranged to meet him in Brixton lol didnt wanna go along so asked few mates who was with me. All of basically said f**k that you'll just get robbed dont bother. Anyway i went and soon as i jumped in their car i made a joke about me going to rob them for it and how itll make a change blacks being the ones being robbed. Him and his mate both burst out laughing and ended up quite good mates with em. Thinking about it now the real racism was my black mates who wouldn't come with me and stereotyped these boys from Brixton. Just a random story lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
