Were you in the National Front as well then?
Thank God. I thought it was just me.

Noooooooo!
I remember the first black family on my council estate and I remember playing with the daughter's black dolls and being in awe of them.

My darling mother, bless her liberal socks,
never quite caught up with the latest term for 'African-English'. When she was a pickney 'black' was bad so you said 'coloured' because 'they're often more of a brown, aren't they?' Then the Black Power movement fucked that up and she's been a bit stumped ever since.
She once told me she'd seen 'a gorgeous negro in the high street'.

Now it is, sure.
But before 'Say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud' etc., it was taken as derogatory. The Black Power chaps reclaimed it, like the benders did with 'queer'.
But only few years ago people started saying 'people of colour' in the US, just to add to the PC minefield.

I'd have thought
'people of colour' was offensive now :S
Though I still don't get 'African-Americans' it seems un-necessarily divisive

Halle Berry used it (people of 'color')
at some shitty fucking awards ceremony, I recall.
It's hard to keep up, especially if you're the kind of chap who calls a spade a spade, what?
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
