Nothing say’s “all lives matter” louder than people protecting the statue of the man who stopped us having to salute like a Nazi, by people doing the Nazi salute……

The idea that pronouncing words in received pronunciation, or standard British English, can make you sound more intelligent and professional, is apparently toxic.

Meanwhile in Australia, there is a push to rename Coon cheese.

In all fairness, if they are going to ban Coon cheese, the should also ban crackers.

That's a good idea, as people are always getting cheese-like slices and black fellas mixed up.

They don't just produce those cheese-like slices.
The block of Coon cheddar has always been their flagship product.

It is totally okay to be racist provided it is directed at White people.
Especially, older white people, Christians, and non marxists.
The blm movement is a great example of not only racism but pure hate towards White people.
What is very interesting to me is how free speech pioneers would now be destroyed by the pc attack dogs.
The days of free speech are over in the west if you are White...
George Carlin's...shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker and tits would be a no no.
If any of you actually read Huckleberry Finn and knew Samuel Clemens aka Mark Twain you would grasp its historical importance.
The cut up Buddhas they uncovered in Siem Reap recently are exactly what happens when the left gets it way...

Experts define racism as prejudice and the power of society backing up the person who is prejudiced. Since the US is de facto a white supremacist country, it is impossible for a person of color to be "racist" against white people.

Jayavarman VIII was a follower of Hindu Shaivism and an aggressive opponent of Buddhism, destroying many Buddha statues in the empire and converting Buddhist temples to Hindu temples. He was not "leftist".Bob's friend bob wrote: ↑Fri Jul 24, 2020 11:24 pmThe cut up Buddhas they uncovered in Siem Reap recently are exactly what happens when the left gets it way...

So the meaning of a racist has changed from someone who believes one race is superior to another and who may show or feel discrimination and/or prejudice against people of other races to the one above.
The question is then, what do you call, for example, a person of colour in a white supremacist country, such as the USA, who believes their race is superior to another race?
The meaning of words evolve all the time in English. For example, the word 'nice' used to mean something like 'foolish', but now it means something like 'delightful'. However, we do have words such as 'foolish' to describe people who would have called 'nice' in the 1200s.
