Absolutely agree with you holidaylover. The world has gone mad! Insane even  :'(

There are too many people out there who have nothing better to do with their time than try to get 15 minutes of fame by finding something wrong with something innocent and making a massive deal of it >:(  When it comes to the colour of items, I think they are the racist ones because they are seeing racism where it doesn't actually exist.

Imagine if we change the word we use to describe items that are currently black. So we don't have a black ball, we have a bloop ball (I know, I'm soooooo creative  ;D), and we have a bloop board, and a bloop sofa, but then because we are using bloop to describe items that used to be black and are now bloop, does bloop become a word we can't use either? Is the only solution to remove every thing that is black from the world?

Pity that 'they' don't find different phrases rather than picking up mine.  We lost 'gay' .........

Bloody Sam Smith bugs the life out of me too. You were born with a winky, son - you're a "he".
And what about that stupid outfit that he wore at the Brit Awards?!  >:(  That is clearly meant for a postmenopausal woman with thunder thighs  ;D - oh, hold on - that’s me  ;D

Is the only solution to remove every thing that is black from the world?

Getting old, I’m going to call you out on your above comment, who exactly are you referring too when you say they are seeing racism where it does not exist? And your reference to the word black being offensive?
I am a woman of colour and quite frankly your post is uneducated and prejudice, I can assure you people of colour do not want the word black removed are you not aware of black life’s matters? This is the word black used in the context that we are proud of who we are and the colour we are!
FYI , you are not creative in your use of words at all you are offensive and your comments are unfounded, I , my family and friends still call a black car black , today I’m wearing a black jumper not a bloop jumper as you suggest and my granddaughter has a black board!!!
I agree with some of the comments on this post but you have crossed a line, did you not stop to think women of colour use this forum and your comments would be hurtful?
I’m disgusted and deeply offended by your words , and disgusted that such toxic comments are laughed along with, your closing words of should everything black be removed from the world be the solution says it all about you !!

I honestly don't think holidaylover meant any offence,the opposite I think.
It's the woke brigade that are at fault, I always knew black people were never offended by the word "black" but these people who say they are,are,dare I say,white!! And haven't a clue,maybe if they stopped and actually asked black people....does this offend you?they would have a better idea of what is offensive or not x

Hi jaypo, just to clarify I was not referring to holiday lover she didn’t make those offensive comments it was getting old and I did quote getting olds post not holiday lovers, you have a fair point about the woke brigade being at fault but as individuals it would be nice if people seriously considered the words they Chose when they are posting on a public forum xx
