Is black considered a racial slur now?

Some people seem to think it's racist when you simply acknowledge someone's ethnicity.
I am not racist in any way. I have always told my children no matter the colour of a persons skin, their blood is red and if you cut them open, they are the same colour on the inside as them
So you encourage your kids to cut people open?!?!?! :o :o :o :o

Scotland>Scottish>Scot, I take no offense as I take none in being called 'A Jock or A Sweaty' (Sweaty Sock = Jock)
Ah. Where did the "sweaty" come from? Is there a stereotype about Scotsmen being sweaty? :D
A jockstrap (also known as a jock, jock strap, strap, supporter, or athletic supporter) is an undergarment designed for supporting the male genitalia during sports or other vigorous physical activity.
Where does the term "black shops" come from?
Never heard of that before. ???
Rainbow sheep shaggers?:o
Local shops, sometimes located on corner of streets. Thou:Those be shops owned by Mr Black. Little known fact this, he be the father of Captain Black of Spectrum fame.
On the right is Black's shops. Originally, these shops were small, flat-topped, temporary, lock-up shops - just a small shop with a single shop-window and dooor to the right.

Here's some more PC gone mad. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/4398680.stm (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/4398680.stm)
The council spokeswoman said an official was concerned about people from other religions.
She said: "It was a junior-level decision and it happened to go into print which was an error basically".
"I think it was certainly not a council policy that we should call the lights winter lights."
"I think it was certainly not a council policy that we should call the lights winter lights."
That article does actually say it is in error.
In three of Lambeth's main town centres, the lights were referred to as "Winter Lights", while in a fourth they were called "Celebrity Lights".
Celebrity lights? I don't understand, are the lights famous for something? Have they made a film? Or slept with Jordan?
She has a gold record. Wow...
Is the error that they can't decide what to call them. :-\
it was an error by a junior official and not council policy
"I think it was certainly not a council policy that we should call the lights winter lights."
I watched Demolition man tonight and was struck by the similarities between the Hellish Politically correct world depicted in that movie and the way we seem to be sleepwalking our way towards it...
It is explained that anything deemed "bad for you" is now illegal, including alcohol, caffeine, contact sports, non-educational toys, meat, spicy and unhealthy food, table salt and tobacco. Firearms can only be seen in museums. Physical contact was recognized as causing the spread of disease and is now seen as unusual. Even high-fives have been replaced with energetic waving. "Sex" is no longer a physical act for the same reasons, and even kissing is not condoned. Instead, "Vir-Sex" is performed by using sex simulators worn on the participants' heads to replace physical intercourse. Procreation is carried out in a laboratory; abortion is illegal, but so is unlicensed pregnancy.
Already we are seeing the mainstream music industry churning out jinglistic crap (won't be long before everybody is singing bless'ed valley of the jolly green giant)...
Edgar Friendly: You see, according to Cocteau's plan I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think; I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I'm the kind of guy likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder - "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?" I WANT high cholesterol. I wanna eat bacon and butter and BUCKETS of cheese, okay? I want to smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section. I want to run through the streets naked with green Jell-o all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiener".
