My daughter is now in the habit of saying 'dark black' for black - just so she doesn't say the 'b' word on its own. OOH, I said it!! I like mine both ways - coffee, that is. What do you think I meant?!! My opinions on Political Correctness? I'm going to get kicked off the site if I say what I really think, lol. x

In school do you use a Chalk board or a White board ?? Bloody silly - If a black board is black in colour then it should be a black board. I don't take offense at a white board not being called a dry wipe board !! I'm very Anti all this PC crap !!! XX Sioux

An African was talking to an Aryan, and he said, ' You are normally pink yet you go blue with cold, red with anger, green with seasickness, brown in the sunshine and yellow with jaundice, yet you have the cheek to call ME coloured.'

P.C has caused more problems than anything!!People are frightened of saying anything anynore for fear of offending and being accused of being Racist, Sexist, homophobic etc!!! to many people telling us all what we should do, and as Orleander said most people Black and white find it a big JOKE!!!

Grampa Jim....loved the joke but I actually am against the term coloured... Black and white are not actually colours...but everyone knows what they mean. We are all one colour or another so to speak! Afro Caribbean or Afro American or African people aren't coloured. I am married to a West Indian but do any of you know if he is black or white??? Jacquie xxxx
