ohh no back to the 1950's we go.

Oh boy, I have been very shocked, disappointed and upset this month during what is meant to be a celebration of Black culture. Black History Month. We have already spent many a century, being frightened of what being black means, constantly fighting for fair recognition, and here we are in 2013 having to explain again why using the word "coloured" is actually offensive if you don't know ill explain it in another blog, or why despite the fact so many people bat the n word around, it hasn't lost it's power to be racist. Stop defending the indefensible. Racism is  racism. Don't try and hide behind ignorance, don't try and play it down as a joke. If you feel that other races experience racism now, how can you think that racism is over. Your complaining about being a minority whilst hating all other minorities. Confused. I'm getting very angry and upset with people constantly saying people are racially sensitive, that people are just being too politic
