JackLakeland Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 It being a true statement does not prove that it's not a racist one. Calling someone a "useless black sod" is a racist comment unless you would call someone a "useless white sod" in an identical situation. I'm sure some black people do call white people such names. Is it racist? I don't think so, its descriptive of the person in subject, difference is always highlighted in such a way, by the person who's in a temper..

JackLakeland Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 I wonder how 'sensitive' you might be to someone aggressively calling your mother a "fu***** wh*** cu**"? Do you think it would be counter productive having a law against that to prevent there being a breach of the peace at least? She is Yes breach of the peace sounds better.

gnvqsos Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Yes you can if it results in a court case. If you want to google it I'm sure there's plenty of examples.. The insertion of the court case would make a difference but you did not stipulate this-you see the law works on precision not vagueness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I'm sure some black people do call white people such names. Is it racist? Yes, unless they would also call other black people by those names in identical situations. Reference to the colour of somebody's skin is relevant if you are describing their appearance. In all other situations it is not relevant, and there is no reason to refer to it except for discriminatory purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAC33 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I was not aware Terry was married. Still i don't get why the aggro with Wayne Bridge when it was his ex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mj.scuba Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Very unusual for the mother of Stephen Lawrence to very publicly turn up at the trial. If that wasn't a clear attempt to influence the outcome, I don't know what is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
