"From what I have read on the internet, that word is sometimes used by people who are interested in interracial cuckolding. I am curious to learn if that word is used more generally." I think you'll find it's more acceptable in the interracial cuckolding scene, but even then i wouldn't use it. | |||

"In the interracial cuckolding scene, it seems acceptable to utilize that particular word. However, from reading the responses on this thread, I infer that a small number of people consider that word to be controversial.

It is not uncommon for people to express their preference regarding ethnicity. Technically, they are 'singling' people out based on skin colour. Am I correct to infer that you consider these profiles to be controversial? Marriage is an old fashioned concept but people still do it. If it is perceived as being old, does that mean it is wrong? | |||

To your first point - no. It's personal preference. But on those profiles, how many people say that they wish to be "blacked up?" And yes, marriage is an old fashioned concept. But - outside of homophobia related to gay marriage - how many people get offended by it? | |||

"Controversial because it's singling out someone by their skin colour. In my opinion at least. It's an old fashioned concept anyway." Yes, this. It also plays on the perceived 'exoticism' and 'otherness' of people of colour. This isn't a good thing, because it reinforces certain stereotypes which - amongst other things - filter down to young people and make them believe that they have to present themselves a certain way. (Black men are always aggressive, asian women are always subservient, etc). It just makes me think that people are a bit behind the times, and unlikely to be someone I have much in common with. | |||

Overly sensitive is one of those terms that make me overly sensitive. My reason for this is it diminishes the real racism some of us still experience every day. We have reason to be sensitive. | |||

I would wonder at anyone changing their political outlook based on one exposure to a comedy show. However, if it makes someone look further, take on the arguments and then find their views change then that's worth the 44 minutes. | |||

"If a woman has had interracial sex with a black guy, is it acceptable to say that she has been 'blacked'?" I hope it is OK to ask this question OP. Can you explain the whole concept of BBC from the perspective of a black person to a white Englishman? Whilst I can (sort of) see the fantasy in the context of the American South, surely the English equivalent would be more a Lady Chatterley gardener or hunky stable-lad thing, à la Diet Coke ad. Is it just a false construct, fed by American porn, so you can get more 'action'? Mr ddc | |||

" Is it acceptable for a woman who has sought out "black guys" purely because of the "black" to say that she herself has been blacked? I know of one who does and sees it, somewhat, as a badge of honour. Is she right or wrong to do so?" I'd say wrong, for all the reasons I and others have given above. | |||

Moreover, you seem to be rather proud of what you would do. People have the right to defend themselves when they are in physical danger. However, you have absolutely no right to attack someone because they said something that you disagree with. I sincerely hope that every single woman and couple on fabs reads your comment because they deserve to know that you are a violent and dangerous man. | |||

"Controversial because it's singling out someone by their skin colour. In my opinion at least. It's an old fashioned concept anyway. Yes, this. It also plays on the perceived 'exoticism' and 'otherness' of people of colour. This isn't a good thing, because it reinforces certain stereotypes which - amongst other things - filter down to young people and make them believe that they have to present themselves a certain way. (Black men are always aggressive, asian women are always subservient, etc). It just makes me think that people are a bit behind the times, and unlikely to be someone I have much in common with." People of colour maybe objectified on their ethnicity and the stereotypes associated with it. What is the problem with that?

On a different site I (Risky) occasionally visit, it is quite common to hear about someone being blacked. However it is also quite common to get comments by people with a user name along the the lines of "whiteboi" to go on about how all white women should be bred by the superior black man... Many of the black guys on there ignore such comments but others encourage such talk... I am pretty sure that many of the people on that type of site are just fantasists... As someone pointed out this appears to be a predominantly American thing... Personally it's not something we would say but think if it's used in the right context, at the right time with the right people, it's not an issue. Clearly it should be kept for those times and more specialist websites... | |||

"If a woman has had interracial sex with a black guy, is it acceptable to say that she has been 'blacked'?" Never the sort of term I would use, and frankly hearing it would put me off a couple. I believe that race should be viewed as nothing more than a skin colour, in the same way that eyes are brown, blue, green, whatever. We can all be partial to certain characteristics....I love darker skins (from olive to almost jet black and I also have a thing for pale green or hazel eyes). What race the person is who is blessed with these features is irrelevant....I can also love flawless, porcelain white skin btw.. | |||

"You cannot seriously expect those who have a fetish for ethnicity to change their preference just because it does not conform to your sanctimonious moral rules." Actually you'd be surprised what you can change by engaging in debate: drink-driving, smoking, women priests, various sexual acts (which I can't even name without a cushion for the naughty-step). Obviously sexism and racism still have a long way to go, but we have at least moved on from the 1970s. I think the real problem here OP, is that in promoting a fetish for your own gain, you allow others to say that their own views are simply 'sauce for the gander', thereby, in effect, damaging the life-chances of all black children. It is a free world, you can do what you like, but as always, you have to be aware of the consequences. | |||

"Controversial because it's singling out someone by their skin colour. In my opinion at least. It's an old fashioned concept anyway. Yes, this.

Be honest son, why have you got an issue with bbc ? Did your gf or wife dump you for a black guy or something ? You do not know me. Therefore, I strongly recommend that you should STOP acting like you know my motivations for writing this thread. I simply asked a question in the forum and there is nothing wrong with that. I have not broken any of the forum rules. I did not personally invite you to come on this thread and make a comment. If you dislike the thread, I recommend that you either compose one of your own or comment on another. I have read the comments you have posted here and I regard you as a rather ignorant man who is deliberately trying to ruin the thread by posting mischievous comments. Your comments are about me as a person and not the question in the original post. I am the OP. However, I did not put MYSELF on a platform for people to debate." get the violins out cos the op is throwing a tantrum lol, son you put yourself on a platform to be ridiculed the minute you posted a thead that lacked common sense or logic. How would you feel if you were stereotyped as stupid for trying to defend a senseless irrelevant thread huh lol | |||

I think you'll find that if you start a thread anyone can comment on them and that they are aloud to comment on your posts within the thread whether they are blocked or not. In reality the only thing they are not aloud to do is ask you why you blocked them. If you don't want people to comment on your posts and threads don't start them and don't post to any. Beyond that you can not complain just because you don't like what they say. I would suggest that, if someone makes remarks you are not happy with, you counter their argument and make your own point. Trying to tell people that they should not make their points because you never invited them onto the thread just makes you look a bit silly (Don't take that as a personal attack). And if you feel they have attacked you personally I would suggest you ignore it. People will judge for themselves on the value of any comments made. Just make your own point more clear. | |||

"Can't make up my mind if the ops terminology is bad or not, but is it any worse than a girl or guy wanting a BBC or is that seen as a positive terminology therefore acceptable, just asking " Is it his terminology or is he parroting what he has seen and asking if we thinks it's acceptable? I'm referring to his opening post. | |||

I understand the reclaiming of language movement but I argue that you cannot use it and expect others not to. It's either reclaimed and redefined or it remains offensive and left to be used by those wanting to cause offence. | |||

I would counter that your comments on individuals have been rude and dismissive. Tit for tat on abuse does not make for a good debate but you telling people to get out of your thread is not debating and puts you at the centre of the discussion, rather than your question. Your question was answered and when the answer did not concur with your view on the use of the language some of us find offensive and racist you told those people to stay out of your thread. That's not a debate about the subject. Practice what you preach and you might get the debate you want. As my old vicar used to say, point one finger at someone else and you point three at yourself. It's something I remember every time I point a finger, here or elsewhere. I am happy to own what the other three fingers pointing back at me might say. Are you? | |||

" "I regard myself as being a rather intelligent person who can articulate himself rather well. I have a brain and I consider various things in life." That is nice to know. That doesn't make you a better person than any of us or any different. " "I really enjoy politics and I like discussing it. I have my own opinions and I will always be resolute in defending them"." Very good. So you should. Surely though, as a self proclaimed intellect who enjoys politics you understand the concepts of free speech, differences of opinion, being able to cogently argue and support your points. Oh and the intrinsic value of free speech. " "far too many people are willing to prostitute themselves for popularity."." So are you actually saying that those of us who have responded are lying about being offended or are all closet racists really? I doubt it. I think that more worrying are people who cause trouble for troubles sake and seek attention in harmful ways, harmful not just to them but others too! " "I do not own the thread. However, I do not see the value in someone investing their time commenting on a thread that they dislike. Surely, it is more productive to invest your time on a thread that you enjoy!"." Yes, if you had posted about toast or car colour. Casual racism and casual assumptions are there to be challenged and discussed. I would never leave a casual racist comment to pass unanswered or unchallenged in real life, why should I here? " "I have never invited anyone to come and comment on my thread"." Really? I do believe that asking a question counts as inviting comment. " "Like it or not, in the interracial scene, " Wtf! Where did aliens come into this? " "In my original post, I just asked if other people thought it was acceptable to use that word. That neither makes me racist nor prejudice. I was just asking a question because it interests me. I was looking forward to discussing it. however, discussing something requires a good vocabulary and the ability to be able to articulate yourself." None of your responses have been particularly articulate or classifiable as debate! There is no need to be condescending towards others who use language differently to you. The content of the argument is clear, even if it is not couched in the terms you prefer. You may or may not claim to believe what you posted but seeking answers only from those who agree implies that you want it to be supported. I suggest that if you are such a proponent on free and open debate about controversial subjects pop down to speakers corner and get brave when there isn't a screen to hide behind. | |||

"How can that be considered a high quality debate" Now thats a damn good question, how indeed when you yourself said; "Also, I do not value your opinion anyway.

It's a shame this will get to 175 and you will invariably get away scot free without this being challenged... Because it is total pish The only people you have decided to converse with in this thread are those who you have deemed to agree with you... Or those you have deemed to have abused you to deflect attention Every one else you decided to ignore Your style on here and in the controversial post you put up remind me of the first five words of the song "fire starter" by the prodigy and I think you get a massive rise from rubbing people off the wrong way P.s no need to worry about blocking me...

I don't doubt your intelligence and, when you write to the point, your arguments are quite well articulated. However you spend far too much effort arguing with people about what they are saying about you and not on the subject. You should not be surprised that if you post on a controversial subject some will assume that you actually support the controversial side of the issue you are putting forward. If you don't you really should make that clear. You also should not be surprised, when something is controversial, that many will wonder why you are asking. However, I would stress again, if you stick to the subject and make your point and mostly disregard any personal comments directed at you, you may find people will listen to what you have to say. As it stands currently I'm really not sure whether you are saying it's ok to use such a term; sometimes it's Ok to use such a term in some contexts and situations; just asking if everyone else thinks it's Ok to use such a term and, if so, when. You've lost the point of what you were trying to say in an argument about whether others should post on your thread. The one thing I am getting from you is you don't like it when people don't agree with you. | |||

The one thing I am getting from you is you don't like it when people don't agree with you." Providing I am not breaking any of the forum rules, I am allowed to compose a thread on whatever I want. Before I compose a thread, I do not consider what other people regard as interesting or controversial because I do not have to. Why should I have to think about what other people may consider to be controversial or not? Other people do not consult me on what they write so why should I have to consult or pander to other people? It is not my responsibility to write threads that people will like. People are capable of writing their own threads. I did not create this thread as a platform to inform people of my views. I created it to discover other peoples views. Unfortunately, some sinister people utilised the thread to attack me because they disagreed with the content of it. People are entitled to disagree with me. I do not consider this a problem providing they are willing to have a sensible debate and debate the subject rather than me. Personally, I believe I have the right to tell people to leave me alone if they are directing personal insults at me. Thank you for your kind words. I will take your advice into consideration. | |||

People are capable of writing their own threads. " But surly the whole point of creating a thread is to discuss it with other posters so it makes sense that you do that in a way that does not just annoy people. I'm not telling what you have to do, you are free to do what you like. I'm just suggesting that a different approach may give a better result. " I did not create this thread as a platform to inform people of my views. I created it to discover other peoples views. Unfortunately, some sinister people utilised the thread to attack me because they disagreed with the content of it. " Well you got other people views and you should not be surprised that they have also taken a view on you to. Arguing with then that their view on you is incorrect is just a waste of time. Don't go there. Better to show them they are wrong about you by what you say and do. " People are entitled to disagree with me. I do not consider this a problem providing they are willing to have a sensible debate and debate the subject rather than me. Personally, I believe I have the right to tell people to leave me alone if they are directing personal insults at me. " If you really want to have a reasonable debate then stay reasonable yourself. Don't engage in the personal argument even if others are. As I said before, most people will be able to judge for themselves who is reasonable and who is right (they are not always the same) but as soon as you start to argue personally with people you no longer look reasonable and start to loose the argument. " Thank you for your kind words. I will take your advice into consideration " No problem. I might even show you how to always get the last word one day if you don't already know. LOL | |||

" I might even show you how to always get the last word one day if you don't already know. LOL" Surely only the mods can ALWAYS have the last word (if they choose)? Besides, it's not really a fair debate if he can't, and you're better than that. Mr ddc | |||
