Get over yourself. She used an historically denigrating term in a strange context and it's done. Move on. Personally, I don't spend much time worrying about what Black people are offended by. I spend even less time worrying about what dopey, holier than thou, white people are offended by on other people's behalf. It is of course possible to care - or to not care - An attack based on skin colour needn't come down to 'well i'm not that keen on immigration' so I'll care massively about that, and not about someone being zoned in on because of their race. You can care about both. Politics needn't come into it - there a great many black British people without much of a meaningful link to another country, and on top of that a persons race doesn't tell you anything about their politics or beliefs.

The difference being that you are a self confessed Corbynite where as your reference to Moseley has nothing to do with my opinions and is yet another attempt by you at character assassination. I feel sorry for someone like you who hates his own life so much that he has to lash out in frustration at others.

Do you know how ridiculous that is? Edit - your comment obviously. Edited by gambler (28 Jul 2017 7.54pm) Remember Gordon Brown calling a Labour voter a bigot because she was concerned about uncontrolled immigration affecting employment and wages?
We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell] |

The treatment of black people should be the same as anyone else. I think that is rather part of my point. I am not particularly interested if some people get offended by a word. White people are not afforded this sort of indulgence and a 100 history lessons will not alter the fact that people need to get over historical sensitivity as much as they need to respect other peoples feelings. Somewhere in the middle we might all grow up and stop worrying about this s***. Immigration is a separate subject and something that has introduced a number of issues that offend many. Of course, their feelings are not afforded the same degree of consideration as a single outdated derogatory word spoken by a person who is clearly out of touch with modernity.

I'm a Corbynite in that he echoes a lot of what I've been advocating on here for years, way before Corbyn was ever thought of as leadership material let alone turning round Labour's fortunes on a democratic socialist agenda. Frustration? It must be really frustrating when a 'remoaner' brings light to a potential pitfall Inn the process and your only response is a put down because you haven't got a counter argument. Really frustrating. Still if you want to imagine me as someone deserving pity, that's your lookout.

So you are saying that everyone in Alabama was a racist?
Does anyone hear the sound of bitter? Does anyone hear the sound of someone with so little self-insight that they have totally missed the point? Nighty night,Judge.
