Does Any Body Know If Titch The Big Dark Skinned Lad Who Follows City Has Passed Away ?

[HarryStyles]

I think you will find that Jacko never had any operations, well not according to him anyway. The lighter skin was put down to a rare ailment he developed that made his skin lighter and coincided with falls he experienced on visits to hospital where the impact with surgeons scalpels, left carelessly on the corridor floors, tore into his features giving them a more Caucasian appearance. 

 

I bet he was lying. Just look at his face!!! Blaits has had an op 

[Aizoon]

I remember as a young child getting a clip round the ear from my Dad as I innocently said 'look Dad a black man'. I was severely told off and informed that he wasn't black he was a 'coloured gentleman' I was made to apologise to the said coloured gentleman.

That is more years ago than I care to remember...but I've never forgotten it. Funny how things change.

 

The oldest Civil Rights group in the USA is the "National Association for the Advancement of Colored People". The constant changing of which words are PC and which aren't is simply to the advantage of a tiny minority who make up the rules and use them to promote their own status.

[Aizoon]

Give it ten years and it'll go back round the other way again.   As long as enough people get offended.

 

And you can bet that those being offended won't be those to whom the words apply.

[Negan]

So is it offensive to call a Smurf Bluey?

['Orns]

The OP may well mean a dark-skinned white person.

Mrs Robbo falls into this category. Naturally perma-tanned. Next to her on a beach I look like an albino!

 

I hate people like that

My brother naturally gets a tan when 1st May comes round on the calendar......takes me all summer to get anything approaching a tan. And he's still got his hair, the bastard

And mixed race/ mixed parentage would have been called half castes by my parents, and they weren't racist that was just the word of the times. Also the N word no one dare says was acceptable in their day. It was even used to describe a shade of brown just he same as Navy blue is commonly used.

There were also other names for people with Downs Syndrome and cerebral palsy, again not offensive in their day but seen as such now.

Anyway I've gone way off topic.

You sure he's your brother?

In fairness a tanned ginger would look odd!

[One Team In Keynsham]

At least we have an answer to what happened to the tall dark skinned chap....he got lost in the mire of this crazy PC world of today

What about that tall dwarf blonde lad of average height with the dark hair?  Much like the invisible man, not seen him for ages.

In the US, the NAACP have stamped out all use of those previously-acceptable terms.

 

Edit:  read further down the thread, Zooner got in there first.

I keep telling him that we're not related....what do you know that I don't, Roge?

He doesn't drink, one pint and he'd be all over the place

This is bullying. Who do I complain to?

Nothing, by the sound of it!

Just confirming what I already suspected....thank you for that

We can all move on now

Yep, so has she

Out of curiosity, are we still allowed to use the term 'Black Man's Pinch'?

[fj08]

dolly is tobe big for her knickers at times, the fella was only asking in the place were somebody would probably know

[handsofclay]

Yes, as long as it's not within earshot of Red M's father, or else you'd also get a white man's boot up your backside to go alongside the coloured gentleman's pinch.

[Whooooossshhhh]

Jeeez.  Any news on Titch, or what?

Sailor ?

[glynriley]

As alluded to earlier, wouldn't it be great if in years to come there was no box ticking at all. The only thing that applied to everyone was that they were all members of the human race. Surely in time to come box ticking will in itself be considered offensive. I am surprised it isn't already!

 

2 boxes surely..

 

1. Human

2. gAsshole

[bristolcitysweden]

Sailor ?

His brother

[bristolcitysweden]

No Rod Stewart ("I am sailing")

[handsofclay]

Jeeez.  Any news on Titch, or what?

I don't wish to sound flippant, but the mere fact Titch hasn't joined this discussion to verify how he should be described doesn't bode well.

[bristolcitysweden]

Old enough to get a panic attack on the Maldives though

[Superjack]

So is it offensive to call a Smurf Bluey?

Smurfist!

[Superjack]

So is it offensive to call a Smurf Bluey?

They have enough to contend with having only one female to the entire population... give 'em a break!

[handsofclay]

So is it offensive to call a Smurf Bluey?

Yes it is. You have to call him a primary coloured gentleman.

[NOTR]

No Rod Stewart ("I am sailing")

You've got the figure,you've got the face,

lets get together the two of us

over a glass of champagne

 

close but no cigar.

So is it offensive to call a Smurf Bluey?

 

I don't know but that Smurfette is something else! Apparently she has recorded herself smurfing Papa Smurf while smurfing Jokey Smurf in the Smurf with her smurf, Sloppy Smurf smurfed his smurf all over her smurf whilst Scaredy Smurf smurfed himself in the smurf to afraid to join in as his smurf was smaller than the other's smurfs. That really is a bluey!
