I don't think 'blue eyed white devil' has any baggage. If someone called me that, I wouldn't be bothered either. Depends. If it's just an edgy remark or if they do think we're actually some devils born with some inherent evil. My niece often gets bullied for being the blue eyed blonde at school. The teachers do fcvk all about it too. She's starting to stick up for herself now, but that's another topic about diversity in schools I guess.

I have noticed that it gets said more when people try to control speech though. You get all these edgy youngsters suddenly making memes about how they have an N-word pass. It's all silly. I too have noticed that when people try to control speech, the N-word gets said more, but even nearly 20 years ago, when I first posted on these forums, I spotted the motives behind political correctness, and that it was being introduced with that very purpose in mind. So people who do start saying the N-word more because of the PC brigade are being played, and that's exactly what those right at the top of the pyramid want. Typical dividing and conquering of society. 7 minutes ago, EnigmaticWorld said: I don't even like just describing people as a colour either, as there is more to my ethnicity than just my colour, but I get why people say a colour because it makes things simple. I agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think any kind of name calling like that is just stupid and uncalled for. If people want to stoop to those levels, it says a lot about their own state of mind.

I think that was done long ago, now we're just seeing the consequences. A society where people don't have much in common with each other seems like a disaster waiting to happen. If people can't put their racial differences aside, then we need something else to unite them. It used to be religion, but Christianity is also on the decline in the West too. I can understand peoples grievances with organized religion, but we need some alternative that brings people together because we're heading towards very dark times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps art and a sincere and genuine creativity is a possible alternative?

Shy Talk Posted September 5 Author Share Posted September 5 Probably the most ridiculous piece I've read by a so-called senior journalist - as ever with these virtue-signallers extraordinaire, they just ignore the huge elephant in the room that is meritocracy. Although I wonder if he'd have been so keen to put pen to paper if he'd been 41 rather than 61 and in his twilight years as a broadcaster (we hope)? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9960383/Every-day-stay-work-middle-class-white-man-bonus-Robert-Peston-says.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ico=taboola_feed_article_desktop_tvshowbiz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mental retardation is a disability whereas ''nigger'' was/is just a word to describe a group of people. Interesting.

How do you know it's ''deliberate'' and an ''insult''? That will depend on context, which changes and not everyone joins with the latest fashions. Not sure why Niger and Nigeria still keep their names.. Anyways, back to Woke Madness. Edited September 6 by Firebird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oddsnsods Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Marc Bola: Middlesbrough defender charged by FA over nine-year-old social media post Middlesbrough defender Marc Bola has been charged with misconduct by the FA over a nine-year-old social media post made when he was 14. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58435485 He should sue the fuck out the FA imo. This is the road you take tho, when you introduce crimethink & censoring people for their opinions. Problem, Reaction, Solution.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skitzorat Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 As we all know math is racist with its origins in the colonial past and thus is clung on to by White supremacists....but have you ever bothered to actually check your privilege to think how that equation can be diversified in an equitable way to ensure our society continues to be more inclusive?

You'd hope so but I'm sceptical given her 'breeding'. I posted earlier today about Robert Peston wringing his hands over 'privilege'. He's the son of a Jewish peer. How dare he talk about white privilege, generalising it as though he belongs with the working class whites who climbed the ladder from the bottom and made something of themselves. A man who has made a career built solely on affected speech, exaggeratedly drawing out one syllable followed by staccato delivery of the next few words. What an embarrassment he should be to anyone related. Unfortunately Waller-Bridge is higher up the pile than the nonsense that is Peston, so don't hold your breath on her hitting the bricks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
