Well that wasn't explained in the infraction was it,as far as I was concerned it was the use of the 'black' word

It may not have been but certainly was explained to you the last time you brought it up

Are you asking me to do some research on language and how it's evolved on your behalf?

i think its to do with a coloured person was just a black person but a POC is anyone who isnt white so some such thing

but as I recall when coloured person was in use we used it for Indians and Pakistanis as well so it mabe cant be that

I know. I'm just not in the habit of doing your research for you when you feign ignorance on the topic.

Erm.... Niamh literally just explained your infraction on the previous page. To claim you were chastised for using the word black is false.

Good one LT.

Yes she explained on the forum, but obviously I saw it as an infraction for calling someone black,it was so long ago I don't even remember the details of the post, so if I had understood fully,i would have left it at that, I wouldn't have brought it up again,I am still not sure what I said that was wrong but a PM to me would have explained exactly what was wrong,I may have missed the post all I know is in my opinion I was pulled up for using the word black,but no good explaining really, some people just like that negative vibe.

Kaz, you brought it up. That's no one else's fault.

I didn't say it was ,I was just explaining how I saw it and not being false at all, sometimes things get taken the wrong way.It's been sorted now anyway.

When my apocryphal bigoted uncles talks about "queers and coloured people", progressives might think he's being inclusive

To make out that you've been infracted for that suggests you aren't telling the whole truth.

Indeed. A ridiculous idea.

The fact that ignorant idiots like Danny Baker will post a picture of a chimpanzee and immediately backpedal.

Claiming he had no clue about the royal baby & the ethnic background , just shows there's no hope really as excuses will always be made & people will always deny it .

Of people admitting that Meghan has been treated in the worst way possible because of her race & nationality .

Yes, there are some nice people. Shame about the racists, pricks and the likes of Piers Morgan vilifying them for nothing.

if they get racist tweets i very much doubt they ever get to see them as they have a team of people who vet social media

"the likes of Piers Morgan" first led you to the conclusion that GMB is the only news source and now something to do with twitter?


....Good one LT

She got sent a letter by someone declaring white power and the police had to investigate it as a hate crime, she definitely saw the racism
