and the other individuals within earshot? were they repulsed or did they carry on like nothing had happened?

(the cops should have removed them, because a night in the cells would have been a better reminder than being looked down on by a person they had no respect for in the first place)

nah, a night in the cells would only serve to reenforce their hatred for these minorities.

make it a week then. i could dream up the charges if you like...

always thought it had roots in the following. maybe the 'pc' brigade did the right thing in this case.

Thats the one, its a gollywog and thats where the term 'wog' comes from.

I personally don't use these words, but do people agree that they are a tool of power for the racists because people get offended by them?

 

[SuitsBlue]

it depends on how words are said, text is devoid of emphasis - tone - expression - feel - mood.

 

[Rob]

but take away the reaction and do the words not lose there power to offend?

 

[SuitsBlue]

im not prepared to go down that route, exactly how is it anyone is going to remove the reaction from all individuals.
