I don't think the majority of "blacks" are too bothered about the term TBH, many seem to use the term themselves. It is almost like a sector of the population is trying to make amends for our poor treatment of the inhabitants of other countries over the years by bending over backwards to be polite and avoid offence. It seems to me though that they are pi$$ing off the rest of the country and also the people they are trying not to offend. But I could have it all wrong.

Dont think you have got it wrong Olly, Sounds about right to me :)

No, you have it right. Black people have their own black identity and history of which they are (rightly) proud.

The pc apologists just keep drawing attention to these things completely unneccessarily. Thet just make fools of themselves, and demonstrate their lack of understanding.

As a sunderland SAFC fan i wonder how much longer well be allowd to call our selfs the black cats or red and white army.

I dont know if this is true some 1 may have been filling me with crap but i was told that pakistan means Pure land or something along those lines. So when u call some one of asian decent a Paki you are kind of calling them pure one.

If people of Afro-Caribbean origin dislike the term "black", then why do we have the MOBO awards?

As an aside, a DJ has boycotted the MOBO awards because he thinks it is inherently racist to have them at all. If someone tried to start up the MOWO awards, people would be apoplectic in their rush to denounce them.

Regardless of whether or not white people want their own show, do you not think that it would not be denounced if someone did create the MOWO awards, or the White Police Association etc?

Spot on Jerome Ive been saying that for ages. I emailed the BBC to complain when they created 1 extra and marketed it as a station for black music (its now changed to 'street music' - but not coz of my complaint) as I said it discriminated against caucasian, chinese, mexican, italian, azerbajan etc etc unless they had a station for every ethnic group...
I also get confuddled when black folk call each other n1gger as a term of endearment but if I used it I could lose my job....
The worlds gone mad.

ah, scoobynet's favourite - the hypothetical white police officer's association. you guys can *never* get enough of that one. :)

move along now, children.

I worked in the wines and spirit department in the local supermarket and was aked by a Kosovan "Can you recomend a good port?" When I said "Yes, Dover. Now F*CK off!", he looked a little offended. Can`t anybody take a joke nowadays?

I only found out last week why the gollywog symbol had been removed from robertsons jam jars.
















Illegal immigrants were cutting them out and using them for fake ID cards.

Senior_AP 14 August 2004 12:42 PM

Arsene Wenger was asked about 3 seasons ago why he keeps buying black players to which he replied:

" I buy the players I need for my team, the colour of their skin matters not but it is true that black footballers are more athletic and quicker".

....(words to that effect).

Racist?? No, just stating a fact.

ProperCharlie 14 August 2004 02:26 PM

great - scoobynet's own racist joke corner. :rolleyes:

i'd like to see some of you lot tell those jokes to a few kosovans and africans that i work with.

It's pathetic isn't it? And I thought it was just me!

As long as you're white, heterosexual and have your politics somewhere right of Genghis Khan Scoobynet NSR is the place for you :rolleyes:

Stiff 14 August 2004 08:27 PM

When Chris Eubanks was asked, on a talk show "Are you a man of ethics?" he calmly replied, "No. I`m a man of Thuthex."
As for the 'racist jokes corner', I`m pretty sure every race, creed and nationality make jokes about other races etc. Some people need to lighten up a little, lifes too short to moan and winge about what`s pc correct and what`s not.

ProperCharlie 14 August 2004 09:16 PM

yeah, and i'm pretty sure that all races and creeds abuse children and hit women but that doesn't make it right.

as for the eubank joke - i quite like it, and as an additional bonus it isn't rathitht either. :)

Stiff 14 August 2004 10:30 PM

[QUOTE=ProperCharlie]yeah, and i'm pretty sure that all races and creeds abuse children and hit women but that doesn't make it right.

Couldn`t agree with you more there mate.
