My Bro has had 2 nicknames as long as I can remember. One is cock and the other I can't use apparently. Ask him if you ever meet him
My missus wears a golly badge on her denim jacket, Cripes sake it came from a jar of jam, WTF!!! There's far more crap things going on in the world than that or JC muttering the "N" word in a traditional song. I think these whiners should make a start on the BNP, wife beaters and peados first!
One of my best mates from school has the nickname 'Chocky' on account of his chocolate coloured skin. We're 42 and he introduces himself as chocky. Racist words are only racist when used in a racist context. Political correctness is a joke, forced upon us by the same kind of people who demonstrate at G8 summits (G7 now I guess now that the 'Red' army is infiltrating Ukraine...) otherwise known as the great unwashed, layabout scumbags who have nothing better to do than stir up Marmite. Clarkson is a knobhead but a very funny one at that, anyone with half a brain cell would just roll their eyes and ignore what he said. As for the BBC taking a 'dim view' of what he said, I'd like to meet the muppet who released that statement and remind him/her that I pay their wages and they should focus more on things that actually matter...
I know but the thing is a "Gollywog" it's a thing not a person/race isn't it? That's how I've always interperated it anyway, let's face it if a black skinned person looks like that then they'd have more to worry about than racism. My missus is just telling me that it's now racist to say that someone has welched on a deal, what? So, if anyone even so much as mentions sheep or even skewered lamb in any way you're reported! Just saying! Roll on Christmas or "Holidays" as it may well be known as soon in the UK now that the "Chocolate egg holiday" has gone, Marmite! Was that racist?
Our local school started having a "Seasonal Holiday" the sensible people of the Parish soon put a stop to that and shifted the Left wing loony Head on to pastures new as well.
To be honest it's much easier to knowingly shake your head and look to the sky with some of the postings here than Clarkson. I had a friend that was raped, it makes me virtually raped myself and thus able to speak on behalf of anyone raped. I had a friend that climbed Mount Everest, yep I'm a fully fledged Sherpa me.... Just because you might know someone that tolerates racism doesn't mean that everyone should. And if portraying the people that object as looney lefties that don't know how to wash makes you feel good about yourselves then well done you. Just pray you are never in the minority anywhere eh.
I told him he should have done: Ip dip dog Marmite *****ing Illegitimate child silly git you are not IT
I couldn't get to sleep, I read this thread. Ready to sleep now. We all know it's another Clarkson publicly stunt and we all know it's his use of pc or " misuse" of that he uses every time. Other than having a car show as vehicle for his massive ego he's a talentless upper class dinosaur. Night Jon boy.
I think it's all ball to be honest. How can a word be racist?? It can't. Racism is in the context. I do and will use the word as it is just a word, if I call a black person that word with intent then that is racist. And don't get me started on racism! How many white people claim racism? Mmmm
