Is this from 19th century Mississippi?

RARDublin

Or modern, vibrant multicultural Ireland in 2012?

IM shocked and appalled at this and feel sorrow for this man who has been racially abused in the media. The writer must be sacked and the innocent victim must be compensated for this callous abuse.

Racism has no place in Ireland today.

i like how you directly linked to the image rather than to the article where the explanation/correction was printed.

The excuse was some bs. No auto correct or spellcheck uses the ugly term negroid.

Even if it was spell check going arseways and they meant to say 'The negro said...' - it still sounds odd.

Edit; ah, apparently it was meant to say ”neighbour”

Muise...

"Neighbour"? That's how he was referred to in the previous line.

Though only if spellcheck does Freudian slips. And knickers! (sorry)

That fat sh1te living next to me calls me "neighbour". B@stard.

Seems like a deliberate attempt to grab attention to me.

There is proposals to protest their office on Harcourt street. They must be made to understand that this is simply unacceptable. The author should be arrested for hatecrimes.

Make up your mind,

Next post... The writer/author/spellcheck programmer should be executed.

" A small crowd of Caucasoid" doesn't have quite the same ring to it.;)

I read a bit of that today and just had to give up.

With 2 scallywags myself, both under 3 years old, I couldn't read on.

Are you telling me there wasn't a question of it being 19th century Mississippi at all?!

Negroid (ˈniːɡrɔɪd)

— adj
1. denoting, relating to, or belonging to a darker-compexioned supposed racial group of mankind. This group includes the indigenous peoples of Africa south of the Sahara, their descendants elsewhere, and some Melanesian peoples

Where's the hatecrime? Did the writer express any judgement? Did he incite anyone to anything?

It might not be a particularly fashionable term and it's a bit awkward referring to someone as Negroid where it's completely irrelevant what race, colour or creed the person is.

But hatecrime? Nope....don't see it.

Typical case of some lefty treehugging crusty getting their knickers in a twist over absolutely nothing.

My guess is that Mr Emuobo would have read the article, shrugged his shoulders, thought : what a bunch of gob****es....and happily went on with his life.

"RAR" likely means Residents Against Racism, a hardcore far-left group that wouldn't be out of place in Stalin's cabinet, one that seems to favour mass immigration on an unprecedented scale and a suffocating society under a PC nightmare, constantly on a knife edge looking to be offended by "racism" at any opportunity.

Which is precisely what happened here: The family in question were Eastern Europeans and so the term Negroid could not possibly have been used as a racial epithet against them, even if it were as bad as say the n-word.

But yet for what is likely to be a spell-check error, RARDublin wants the author fired, jailed as a criminal, and for compensation to be paid for someone who could not possibly have had any reason to take offense.

It's pathetic.

A tad OTT.
Shocking, disgusting, but hardly a hate crime.

In addition these 3 posts by RAR Dublin are their first and only posts, so its safe to say they only signed up to spam this nonsense.

ah....I was hoping they'd hang around for a bit of fun.

Been a slow night so far

Most blacks in mississippi in the 1970s would be happily surprised to be called a negroid rather than the more vile version of that word. Never mind the 1800s.

You claim that an anti racist organisation that promotes a multicultural society is Stalinist. Then go on to report me in an attempt to silence me. Amusing.
