TheLogicalMind: There's no historical record to show that Asians hate Africans, so the burden of proof is on you to show that Asians are more racist than British people. Racism as we know it was invented specifically by Britain. 3 Likes |

This is just stupidity. The definitions are fine as they are. Should the meaning of red be changed because red Indians feel bad about that characterisation? People are becoming more stupid as the world grows older. 1 Like |

TheLogicalMind: Who cares if if İts the colour or race? you are just playing Devils advocate. If the term black is associated with negative things it definitely would have a negative effect on the race refered to as black. BTW, It's always dissapointing to see a black man being against 'political correctness'. Its not faultless but being against it shows you dont realise how 'handicapped' the black race is on the global scale. 1 Like |

kingscare1: And who's responsible for the bad govt? No be me & you- blacks? Everything written about about being black there is true, if it weren't we wouldn't be bothered about an ordinary word. Perhaps if we ourselves change our ways, the word "black" could end up meaning something good, and I can assure you, if whites became as useless & cruel as we are, the word "white" would end up meaning a different thing. We make words what they mean with our attitude not the other way round. 2 Likes 1 Share |

musicwriter: You are 100% correct. If you look up the word black in any English dictionary, a full 98% of the entries have a negative connotation. I had mentioned this in a post, a while back and someone jumped in to make light of it. Some of our people have refused to use their brain and instead, put said brain on permanent vacation mode. 6 Likes |

The painful thing about inferiority complex is that nothing the other person does is ever good. The white man gives free scholarship, Oh they are stealing our best brains The white man give visa lottery , oh this is a way of exposing our peoples to western pervated culture. In my way of thinking, the white man is more open minded, more loving, and more accommodating than the black man can ever be. Rather than hold our broken homes and the increasing number of single parenting that has produced misfits in children accountable, we focus on the white man. We can never progress with the thinking that white man is our problem. |
