Well even in 1946 the word ''Nigger'' was likely to cause problems on the BBC as the late Jack De Manio found out. I seem to recall that the actual announcement was on a 12 inch vinyl record celebrating I think it was 70 years of the BBC which I had many a year back but said disc has gone missing en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_de_ManioWow, didnt realise the BBC had been infected with the PC virus way back then.

But its its considered not racism, or derogatory when said Negroes refer to whites as rednecks or crackers etc They all howl for equality.... I would suspect the word "Nigger" is a reference to the Niger river, ie a part of Africa where slaves were captured by Muslim and black traders and sold to the Westerners Howling for equality or playing the snowflake victim card? Hey lets not forget the Irish that were sold as slaves by the British in huge numbers. You don't hear them still playing the victim card several hundred years later. Thats a first for me, got any pertinent details?

Thanks for the link, first I have ever heard it mentioned about Irish being sold as slaves. Another tricky question, Ned Kelly, hero or outlaw?

Please gents, please behave. You could be unrepairable damage to the country by using the wrong terminology. So, not 'Land of the Nigger", not TPLAC but as checked and confirmed by Sir Humphrey
"It seems, in a nutshell, that the term Less Developed Countries is not yet causing offence to anyone. When it does, we are immediately ready to replace the term LDC with HRRC. This is short for Human Resource-Rich Countries. In other words, they are grossly overpopulated and begging for money. However, Buranda is not an HRRC. Nor is it one of the ‘Haves’ or ‘Have-not’ nations – apparently we no longer use those terms either, we talk about the North/South dialogue instead. In fact it seems that Buranda is a ‘will have’ nation, if there were such a term, and if it were not to cause offence to our Afro-Asian, or Third-World, or Non-Aligned-Nation brothers"

“From 1641 to 1652 [the] English [sold] 300,000 [Irish people] as slaves.”
As quoted from the link on the above post.
Now those numbers are dubious. Ok so even if half were sold or forced into labor and exported out of Ireland are damming.

Makes a great story , we all enjoy those but he was an armed bandit who along with his brothers murdered several police officers. Sure it was a tough life back then but anarchy won't solve the problem.

^^^ excellent answer. One thing I love about the Land of Oz, everyone is an Ozzy. Go to America, everyone is a something/American, Italian, Polish, Irish, Greek American, are there no Americans in America? Some "plastic paddy" in America was proudly proclaiming to me, he was 5th generation irish. Thought to myself, so you were born here, same as your parents, same as their parents, same as their parents, and you havent yet integrated. When are you actually going to consider yourself to be an American, how sad, no wonder the country is so effed up. The paddys up my way were laughing when Obama was going searching for his irish roots, , dont make me effin laugh.

Ok so even if half were sold or forced into labor and exported out of Ireland are damming. During the Potato Blight years two hundred years later a million Irish may have 'voluntarily' moved to America to escape famine and British land owners a.o. Mind you, they were not really welcomed in America, derided as 'paddies' and 'biddies', the white niggers some have it. Interesting an article which ends more glorious. "In 1850 at the crest of the Potato Famine immigration, Orestes Brownson, a celebrated convert to Catholicism, stated: "Out of these narrow lanes, dirty streets, damp cellars, and suffocating garrets, will come forth some of the noblest sons of our country, whom she will delight to own and honor." In little more than a century his prophecy rang true. Irish-Americans had moved from the position of the despised to the oval office." www.kinsella.org/history/histira.htm

It must have a woeful existence living in that part of New York back in the day but a fascinating history.

The word nigger is freely used amongst black people but is strictly off limits in a white on black scenario, for a white person to call a black person a nigger evokes memories of the plantation era and all that entails and will almost certainly result in harm or upset. There are other terms that black people in America use which are also exclusively for their use but most are slightly less contentious, Uncle Tom being one (a white loving black), Oreo being another (black on the outside, white in the centre).

But what about when they use the term redneck or cracker ? Are these terms not offensive or racially charged, its the same thing...? If one wants equallity then all terms which are deemed derogatory are all equally offensive, if one term is deemed highly offensive and another not then that in its self is racist is it not ?...so its ok for one group to be blatantly racist, but not ok for another ?...thats called discrimination. Too me certainly in my time in the US and what i have seen, the race card is played all the time so some one can get their own way nothing to do "racism"...the whole professional victim thing used by the Jews equally effectively to shut down any honest debate by branding people they disagree with Jew haters and anti semites, even if the remarks made are not remotely intended that way

Anyone ever heard of a comedian called Katt Williams ? Look him up and see what he has to say on the subject, especially Micheal Jackson.

Put on black face and they up in arms howling racism, but two black dudes put on white face and dress up as women...not a peep from the libtards...racism and sexism Attachment Deleted
