    A lot of joking in this thread (lighthearted objectification of black bodies, booties & wangs) but I bet there would be less laughing if it was sexualisation of your own kind. Food for thought.

    I think this is a case by case situation. Linford Christie didn't mind.
    There was a song this black fella had out about big arses. 'I like big arses' I think it was called.
    When they get around to worrying about paddy liking a drink, being stupid and so on wake me up.

    Thought this was going to be thread about sexy physics. :(

    black body
    (noun)
    a hypothetical perfect absorber and radiator of energy, with no reflecting power.

    That's why Eve of Garden of Eden fame should be the patron saint of programmers; she had an Apple in one hand and a Wang in the other.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    The one that gets me is 'dong'. Dong is clearly not a term meant to sexualise black men, the fact that black men are much more likely to have a dong is down to dong being a a classification that is based on size. Black men having dongs is objective fact based on observation, some white men such as myself also have dongs, but the association of dongs with blackness is merely a general trend and not in any way racially based. It's PC gone mad.

    Anybody else worried about the sexualisation of black bodies in the media? Booties? Wangs? etc? It's only a matter of time before they do the same to us.




    If some fucker manages to "sexualise" my body, I'll award them a cash prize.

    WANG used to have 33,000 employees. They even had a new customer focused strategy with a new slogan
