I didn't see an issue with it? I didn't realise that using chocolate (in a positive way) could be an insult? Like no matter what colour, surely the fact that it's being used as a compliment is what really matters?

The world has honestly gone PC mad. She's black her self so she's not likely to be a ****ing racist.

The only people who would be offended by what she said are people looking to be offended and those people piss me off more than Alesha calling a black guy chocolate ever could

:clap1:

But unlike the n word, chocolate doesn't have any racial connotations?

I don't see the problem.

How does it compare to referring to an act as "the black acts"??

Perched for the outrage when a white person calls another white person a milk bottle

:laugh2:

Well if you go down brixton high street and address a gang of black dudes with "hey chocolate boys, whats up?"


and then report back

although having said that I've often said someones legs are like milk bottles :think:

Ginger ninja :laugh:

What a stupid thing to say Alesha. :facepalm:

That's not really the same thing, is it now?

I could call them a bunch of twats and not get a very nice response, but that's not a racist insult either?

Usually my own though tbf :hee:

It's people being offended on other people's behalfs. This is typical of our culture :rolleyes:

I think I've just experienced racism.

I've had that said about me :nono:

Yeah, it wasn't racist at all. In fact the only reason WHY it's an issue seems to be because a black woman said it....

Nobody blinks an eye if someone's skin is described as fair or olive or caramel toned so it's dumb to get over this and honestly, it's just ignorant people acting like they're victimised so **** them.

well no as twat is an insult

my point being that would see it as racist and stab you up

innit

the way we are was a bop however

:joker:

How do you know they'd see it as racist?

What is racist about it?

They wouldn't like a stranger approaching them to simply call them "chocolate boys" but it doesn't make the comment itself racist. :unsure:

how come you know so much about brixtons street gangs?

:suspect:

I never said I did. But "chocolate" doesn't have any racist connotations. :fist:
