It matters a great deal - because when 'they' were making use of the word 'blacks' in the context that they were - the scene showed a street full of persons with all manner of non caucasian people - Indians, Arabs, Pakistani, Africans, to name a few - with very few caucasians. The word 'black' would be the generalised term being applied.

It's not exactly difficult to work out that the word Blacks, didn't mean quite literally those who have skin colour from their roots being in deepest darkest Africa.

I don't know how you feel you can justify your comment, "It amazes me that you cannot see....." You don't know me MTVN, my thoughts or my opinions on such matters - so how you can be amazed by someone putting over their view - when you no nothing about that person on a personal level - beats me!!

I have seen the clip in question and yes, I think they were very intolerant and narrow-minded, which is quite ironic really. It wasn't aggresive at all, certainly no more so than you implying that I was a bigot for supposedly "simply want[ing] to see bigotry and racism in anything". The last parapgraph makes no sense, of course I can be amazed by your view, I think you'd be pretty amazed if someone started advocating genocide wouldn't you?
