I'd like to think we've moved on a bit from .....

[Doctor Gollum]

Not far...

[Bigron]

We just don't say it out loud....

Ron.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

We just don't say it out loud....

Ron.

Well this is the thing, Ron.

 These days we are made to feel guilty for saying 'politically incorrect' things in the privacy of our own homes. In their own home people should be able to speak and think as they see fit.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

My mother frequently used a wool officially described as "Nigger Brown" and nobody found it unusual or offensive, just descriptive, as Dr. Opti said.

Ron.

Nigger brown paint was an official colour. Available everywhere. Well before my time though.

[Bigron]

But why should we feel guilty, Doctor, just to go along with the thought police who wish to control what we think and say?
I saw thatfilm last night  on YouTube, and it simply reflected the way we were at that time: quite refreshing, though!

Ron.

[Bigron]

Even then, though, they had to justify their attitudes with a disclaimer - "I have to think of my business".

Ron.

There is a desire to 'airbrush history' which I disagree with. Didn't they change Nigger to Digger in a later version? Why do this?

And why do we (via our government) constantly need to apologise for slavery? If this is the case we should demand an apology from the Italians (Romans) who held the reins for 400 years in this country often with much brutality.

.........and the Vikings from the Scandinavian countries can also apologise.

Some need to move on from a victim mentality which seems to bring comfort.

[Bigron]

Slavery was down to the greedy plantation owners of America who wanted cheap/free labour on their estates. We only got involved because we were a staging post for the long journey from Africa to America - ships back then couldn't make it in one hop.
Several of the slaves managed to jump ship at London and Bristol, hence the beginning of the ghettoes in those places.
The Africans themselves must share the blame, as they were instrumental is pulling the potential slaves from the jungle: white men could not survive in there, so the natives had to do it for them.
Not our fault, no need to feel guilty.

Ron.

Let's hold a vigil and hope we are all forgiven.

Yes. But because of links with Liverpool and other cities we need to constantly apologise.

'Comfort', I think means more than you meant it to mean. For comfort, read secure or security, because, imo, the root of all the offence is insecurity. If a black person were to call me a honky, I would shrug it off, not cry racism. Those Australian folk have been calling us 'Bloody wingeing poms' for years. Again, water off a ducks back. Racism, sexism, ageism, any ism you like, is offensive only to people who are insecure with their identity. 


I do clinics on Monday evenings if you need your bumps felt.

Scouseism! You bastard, I'm offended, me.

The only bump I have is in the trouser department.........If you were a 19 year old swedish girl I would be happy for you to check it out.

However, as you are an elderly gobby scouser of ill repute and  undocumented parentage, you can far cough.
