My brand of cigarettes are called superkings... They come in green, (Menthol) blue (Lights) and black (Normal) varieties...
Driving thru London on night, I stopped at a small shop to buy some ciggys... BIG BLACK DUDE behind the counter...
I stroll in and say '20 Superkings Black, Please'
The look I got was filthy... Made me feel really uneasy... So I paid and got back in the car... Then I got to thinking...
I hadn't gone in there with a racist thought in my head... I was just ordering my cigs in a normal manner, using the correct names and description...
But I was made to feel almost as if I had gone in and shouted 'Boy! Fetch me my Ciggys now you BLACK N1gger!' and... that certainly wasn't the case...
So my answer is that the word black itself isnt racist.. Its the interpretation of it... Rightly or wrongly...
