Racist Old People

Since we now seem to be collecting evidence, anyone have a link to a legit version of the Johnny Cash classic, "Ship Those Níggers Back"?
For some reason, there doesn't seem to be a copy on YouTube. :pac:

My dad has a black Seat Ibiza Mk1 stored at home. A plate on the inside of the boot lid lists the car's colour as "Negro" - the car is 20 years old and I'd assume it wouldn't be allowed now.

Upon looking for it, research says it might have been Jonny Rebel...
Last.fm have it credited to Cash though. I dunno.

Edit. Found it on Youtube. It's Rebel. And... not as funny as I thought it was. Pretty much straight up racist.

I remember watching that, could not believe what i just heard. Classic.

I jokingly asked a guy in work if he usually drinks Chocolate Negro's. Seeing as he had some on his desk.

Thinking back, that could have turned out back for me had the PC Brigade been close by!

Racist old people are hiliarious...

It's mad how it was acceptable back in the day

Look at this film trailer. Yes, it's a real film back in the 70s.

1:20 of the video is quality.

the word Negro is short for negroid, it should be no more offensive than calling a white person caucasian(short for caucasoid). people from the far east are mongoloid which also sounds offensive but is actually a scientific term too.

Negro is also spainish for black.

Negro is just Spanish for black, nowt offensive about it. But the same word in English is very dodgy, scientific or not.

But it's contextual. That word is just really, really out of date; does anyone younger than 55 actually use it anymore (in the English-speaking world anyway)?

But who can say why he reacted as he did?
Perhaps, just before this, he would have been delighted by any reference to his chocolate-coloured complexion.
Perhaps he had even given himself a nickname that reflected his pride in it; 'sexual chocolate' or somesuch.
Perhaps he had just been dumped by some girl that very day and was at the pool in the vain hope that a swim would ease his mind and deflect his thoughts from the fact that his very perception of himself had just been reduced to tatters.
I'm going to assume that this was the case and so must applaud the man for simply betraying a mild disapproval at the child's cruel comment, unwitting as it may have been.
Given the circumstances, he showed uncommon decorum.

I sometimes wonder if my granny reads and posts on AH.

She is constantly bringing out the "They took our jobs" line (but she's serious

). She moans for several hours about the fact that there are foreign people working in the post office when she collects her pension.

She cites her and my grandfather being told to leave Northern Ireland immediately in the middle of the night when the war ended, and being told they only had enough jobs for "themselves" up there, as a valid reason for it being ok to tell foreign workers here to leave now.

She never says anything to their faces though.

Of course you're right to a degree. He had every right to be offended, doesn't mean he should have been though.

Are 4 year olds capable of genuine, cold, calculated cruelty?

Are you serious? Offended by a comment from a 4 year old?

Donkey Oaty · 25-07-2010 12:46AM

What's the word for a person from a small island off the coast of Europe who finds similarities between the Spanish description of "black" and its similarity to an offensive term for black people worthy of use of the phrase "probably be banned"?

Edit: or "wouldn't be allowed now"

I didn't say they were; you should read my post again.
I was also joking, to a certain degree.

Give a brother a break.

luv-eirexx · 25-07-2010 12:48AM

My granny often refers to protestants up north as "Joeys" or "one of themselves". . . .Never heard anyone else use those phrases, could just be her:D!!
Also we never have our American relatives over visiting, its always those "yanks".

She refers to coloured people as "blackies" . . .

Though in fairness to her she has never used any of these terms in front of these people . . . . . . THANK GOD!!
