For a start, what is cowardly about posting a picture on the internet? I remember doing that, in response to a ******ed (oh no, I said it) post by a Leicester fan a month or two ago. It's not as if I've mugged a disabled kid in the street. Now that would be cowardly. ******* is not necessarily an offensive term. Sure, it CAN have certain racist connotations, though usually in its shortened form 'Negro'. ******* is still a term used in science, in case you hadn't noticed, likewise *****loid and Caucasoid. In relation to this, NFU seems to be one of those morons who likes to act offended on behalf of others, despite being as thick as pigshit; hence why he never picked me up on my use of the terms Caucasoid and *****loid in the same post in which I wrote a supposedly offensive and "anti-black" term, with which they form a group of distinct subsets in Anthropological classification. I really have no idea what the **** you are talking about when you say "(not) used by respected people in society". I respect Anthropologists. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/*******
This post sums up exactly what I mean. I didn't mock the child, or say anything offensive. All I did was post the picture because I know that such an action is enough in itself to provoke an over-the-top reaction by my fellow posters. I was proving a point, not being offensive.
It's not the act of posting the picture is it, it's the sentiment. Anyone can click a button, but it's the reasons for it. Cheap. I'm fairly sure black people would find a white lad calling them '*******' offensive, no matter what you say. Also, it doesn't take a great deal of research to find that Scientists actually discourage use of the word ******* due to its racial connotations. I reckon most people would see this as fairly obvious. You wouldn't ever dare rock up to a black person in the street and say "Hi *******" because you'd be met with hostility. But, be brave on an anonymous forum by all means, if it makes you feel better about the crap you believe.
Oh no, the sentiment! Of course! Shame on me. It is a scientific term that is still used in certain branches of science, and it is part of a group of terms which include Caucasoids (Whites, North Africans, Middle-Eastern peoples) and *****loids (Chinese, Japanese, etc). Quite possibly the most ******ed thing you could possibly conceive of. What an absolute non-sequitur that is. If you approach black people by saying "Hi Black" then I'm surprised YOU haven't been met with hostility. It's not crap though is it, and I've demonstrated why. And seriously - the old "anonymity is the only reason you're saying that" excuse is a shoddy way of saying "I'm wrong, but I'll pretend you're trolling me".
" I respect Anthropologists " What the **** are you going on about you ignorant **** ? You blatantly mock the disabled and use offensive language , both of which show a distinct lack of respect and come out with that line. If you don't know that the term ******* is offensive then maybe I shouldn't mock because you are living in your own little world and clearly need help . You couldn't make it up.
You really are laughable. You have ignored everything I wrote apart from a selected 3-word line that is irrelevant to your response. And come on, mocking the disabled? What, a ****ing picture? Other people have done the same on this board before, and you know it. Stop playing the Internet Warrior and accept it.
It is crap though isn't it. You've demonstrated you rely on a scientific term rarely used anymore (due to dodgy connotations) to justify why you're a keyboard racist. Well done.
A scientific term still used in certain branches of science, that I used in a scientific context. Hardly racist.
Explain the Black Plague line then . Bernard Manning would spew racist bile and then say ' only joking' . It shows what level you're at .
I was mocking the likes of those who say that Britain is "infested" or "plagued" with Black people. People such as Bulgars and other Europeans who mock the United Kingdom for its willingness to embrace other races and cultures. I understand sarcasm doesn't communicate well over the internet, but come on, at least try to use that lump of grey matter residing in your head.
It's threads like this that allow ignorant pricks to pretent that anyone who objects to racism is over sensitive to it and is offended by anything. Obviously those who don't find a picture of a disabled child funny need to get a sense of humour too.
Interesting. Would you care to tell me why you think I'm depressed? I mean, personally, I think there's a multitude of reasons as to why I am, but I'd love to hear your opinion. Well we've not had that happen yet, so don't tempt fate. Indeed.
Let's see: willing to offer a diagnosis after minimal effort examining so-called symptoms, but unwilling to divulge what they are and how they can be treated... I'd say you were NHS, yes.
