He who must not be named (The HammerheadTM)
politically correct though?
I'd love to know REALLY how this was reported across south america? not a second hand accounting but what views were taken over thereThe word 'negro' is not a racist word, its variant - ngr <blush> - is commonly considered to be and is derived from the French word negre (now out of use)
'Black' is not a racist word.
Suarez was trying to insult tit-for-tat - Evra was also rude - but how are you supposed to describe those of dark-skinned race? Are you not supposed to mention it at all?
It's plain as the nose on all our faces that Evra has a different skin colour.
Lord Ouseley's statement made my blood boil!
**** off you prick, it has been explained numerous times by several posters that it is not a racist word.
Go home you boring ****.
The word negro is considered racist in the UK.
how are you supposed to describe those of dark-skinned race?
Black is an acceptable term in this country. But you shouldn't use it as an insult, which is what John Terry allegedly did.
People also seem to forget context is a factor, which is why Diane Abbot is in trouble today for using the word "white" in a racist way.
The word negro is considered racist in the UK.
Deflecting from our great performances we had this week or kicking us when we are down syndrome I think! KE are you watching the wire or was that someone else?
Mmm..
...by the same argument, therefore, Evra ought to be accused and sentenced for sexism for what he called Suarez's sister.
Ah, but wait, he apologised, did he not?
So has Diane abbott.
Still happened, though.
All this is because Suarez didn't apologise straightaway.
Wouldn't have made a scrap of different if he had.
Would it.
I'm going to start watching it soon. I'm working my way through Supernatural at the minute though.
What are you watching now Negro ? ( just keeping it on topic )
Insulting you proves you are a **** who doesn't listen. The arguments have been posted already if you care to read with the help of an adult to understand the big words.
What is your racist obsession with Brixton?
Negro has fallen out of common use, which is why it's considered racist.
That's the only reason.
has anyone watched the last season of law and order.
Actually i was thinking back cos all the old episodes are on fx and i recorded them. MY GOD!!! they have at least 5 episodes a season about angry black guys getting even with the system !!!
we should make a mini series out of this case.
and i'm not even watching the wire... ever... so there. just because, no reason.
Wishi - you know damned well he couldn't apologise immediately - he'd been accused (in the aftermath of the match) of using the word "******". He denied this and out of all this grew the FA's scape goat on which to load their political message for Sepp Blatter...
Yes the missus allows criminal minds as long as i hold her hand. he makes me watch bones though... terrible show. the new murder she wrote. you can predict who dunnit easy.
which is it!
Not so much any more. The validity of such terms is questionable.
Plus, the most general scientific view is that "race" has no place when discussing humans since
1. all humans are capable of reproducing with all others
2. the genetic fixation index is so low that other "races" don't qualify as being separate
i.e. we are all just homo sapiens*
*except Mancs, of course
