Soon word "black" and color itself will be prohibited. Fucking insane.

George Orwell predicted it

Nothing surprises me anymore...

That's insane!

Let's ban blacklights, Black & Decker tools, black cherries, black belts, blackmail....

No more black eyes neither.....

My black friend says to just say black.
I said "african american" once and he said "its not african american, its BLACK. Say Black"

AHHHHHH! you cant win.

stopped at 'thesun'

That's nothing; probably close to 20 years ago my dad was having his house appraised and told the real estate appraiser that the master bedroom was upstairs. He said that "master" bedroom was no longer acceptable terminology because of the racial undertones.

you're a canadian fucktard

Wooooooow. :1orglaugh

Yup. Master and slave controls are no longer acceptable terms. Along with male and female connections. Couple of others I can't think of at the moment too we use to use.

If it was a massuh bedroom I might be able to understand

I do not find the term "black" to be racist at all. It's a fucking color.

that's ridiculous... so what are politically correct versions now?

thank you very much :thumbsup

:Oh crap
dang. that's nutty

although it reminds me of a similar, about that same time i was working sales and had a black customer, when he commented about a recent big jump in prices, i replied with "boy, you're right about that!" he said, "what did you just call me?" it even took me a moment to figure out he was talking about the racial undertones of the word *boy*, i was using it as an exclamation.

so a business being in the black should be out too, despite it having good undertones, because being in the red would be disparaging to natives?

IDK I still use the old terms haha. Fuck em if they don't like it. Gender bender was another term.

It may have just been the company I was working for. I remember a long drawn out email about it from corporate and how we should not use the terms any more.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

How about the white bedroom!

What about the aliens and the Indians?

forgive my ignorance

but isn't saying 'blacklist is racist'.. racist?

you're taking an entirely non racist term and then suddenly saying 'it's racist', and demanding everyone change?

the only time it became racist is when the scotland yard said it was.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

how about black hat SEO and white hat SEO ?

According to the Henry Holt Encyclopedia of Word and Phrase Origins the word "blacklist" originated with a list England's King Charles II made of fifty-eight judges and court officers who sentenced his father, Charles I, to death in 1649.

When Charles II was restored to the throne in 1660, thirteen of these executioners were put to death and twenty-five sentenced to life imprisonment, while others escaped.

Everything is Racist! :1orglaugh

What does Canadian have to do with it? A fucktard is a fucktard, in any country.



So what's acceptable in place of blacklist? Badlist?

"I badlisted the asshole. Let's see his sorry ass get a job now"


Start Wars is obviously a racist movie. Having Vader all in black is a blatant slam on the black race.

Is that for real? The UK? WTF?

My son has a brown belt in Aikido. Thanks god he doesn't live in the UK or USA, because the next his belt would have an Afro-american color then :helpme

Do they realize that prohibiting word "blacklisted" they look stupid? There is no more "black people" officially - MEDIA call them Afro-Americans, right? So if there is no more black people how come word "blacklisted" can be racist?

It' was all so much easier when they were all just "coloreds"
Ds

whats fucked up is put someones kids in it :2 cents: but i was not spared at a young age. pick on someone that cant kick your ass :2 cents: if i was grown they would have been dead :2 cents: :disgust

It is strange that porn is becoming so prominent and yet political correctness is also becoming an issue.

From now on I am adding spam emails to my African American list.

Why is it called a "blacklist"?
Is the list printed on black paper?

I've never seen one before so just asking.

Is that the UK's redneck version of the Boston Herald or the Post from NY?

that douche McCarthy in the 50's black listed many from Hollywood. I always thought modern meaning came from people being marked off the lists of those who could be hired. From crew to directors to actors...

naggers are assholes :disgust
