All you hear now in the news, this idiot made a racial slur yet the accuser won't say anything in public - all the time in football!
Now this Tiger woods thing will drag on until the next 'incident' , fuck what he said wasn't even racist.
Would have thought by now racism would have gone the way of aids, old news and annoying to keep hearing about.
yep bored to death of it
you can call people white, ginger, little, greasy, fat, skinny etc...etc.... but not black
in my office when people are describing someone who you may need to contact or find in in open plan office, some are afraid to say 'black guy' or 'black woman'. Pathetic
some poor woman got berated for using the term 'half cast' . Apparently thats not PC any more. Oh yes and I got bollocked for callinga type of music urban by a black female colleague who was into that scene. Like wtf ?!?!?
is tiger woods offended ? or just every other fucker ?
What was his caddy supposed to have said?
I read some stuff in the news and had assumed they had edited the bad stuff out, but it seems that there simply was no bad stuff?
All I read was him saying it was his happiest caddy momment???
I'm against racism completley, but for something to be racist it needs to be offensive, not factual. ie- if a person is black, then they are black. Nothing offensive in that.
All of my black/ Indian/ Muslim friends are actually the first ones to crack the racist jokes out about themselves.
But yes, I am getting very bored of the Ba, Ba, Ba Sheep culture. (that's what my daughter had to sing in nursery because Black Sheep implies black people are odd, I kid you not)
btw AIDS is on the increase so that's not such a good example ;D
it's like when you have a black / white guy boxing. They don't say x is the black guy, nope, we get a lovely description on there shorts and boots :) now I know there is nothing wrong with telling them apart by there shorts BUT there is one other blindingly obvious difference between them.
"Black asshole" fat, skinny, ugly, white would have been perfectly acceptable adjectives had he been any of them, but black, even though he is black, is racist.Quote:

so its the combination of skin colour and swear word that makes it racist. 'that black has-been golfer' would have been acceptable then ?Quote:

It seems that black people such as Floyd and Hopkins can be racist all the time and yet anytime a white person says something, then hell freezes over.
It's a case of total double standards.
Either you have standards for all or you have none. I think racism should only be a problem if there is serious malicious intent there. For instance, you shouldn't attack comedians for racist jokes.
Someone having a go because you describe music as 'urban'? That black woman should have been told to fuck off, though clearly better to leave out any description of her obvious and actual colour.
They are wrong too. Its just fat and ginger are not a race.Quote:

I've read what he said now
"I wanted to shove it right up that black ass hole"
Does sound racist.
But I'm pretty sure there was no race hate there. Not really sure why he threw the black in there, he probably isn't! If he'd have called him a dishonest cunt instead there probably would have been much less of a fuss.
If Tiger had called him a white prick, for some reason it sounds less racist.
I've been tired of racism especially because a few people (Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton) use race to shakedown companies to pay them off.
This whole situation is an indictment on today's culture for so many reasons. The fact that someone can't describe another as a black asshole without being labeled racist is quite silly especially when u consider they r former friends. It also sucks because overblown things like this make it difficult for "real" victims of racism, many of whom are immediately pushed aside and accused of playing the color game. I think very little of people like Sharpton because his exploits have discredited legit victims of racism but this crap here is news
