Can't We Use This Anymore?

[JohnD]

So you say black people can use the word Gammons

AFAIK it is a term mostly used by white people to describe other white people, especially when the second group are angry, hostile, red, sweaty racists shouting abuse or racist slogans.

Is it ok because white people use the term Gammon to describe other white people.
Should black people be banned from using the term.
If it is acceptable for some black people use the N. word to describe other black people, why can't white people use the term also.

Well, one is a racist comment, the other isn't.
Not really comparing like for like eh.

maybe its because of centuries of black people being oppressed by white people.

Including your attempts at inventing new references to confectionery, with potentially racist connotations?
No doubt you thought it was funny at the time?

Especially as you stated that you had never made any reference to colour!


A complete lack of self awareness.
It would appear that you repeated your suggestion several times. Were you hoping it would catch on?

Jesus Columbo you got me again..mind blown..boom...

Google Irony you muppet. Honestly you're a poor excuse for a troll. Must try harder (ps if you haven't decoded the message...that means you not me)

So you say black people can use the word Gammons in relation to angry, pink, RWR and Brexers who are white.... If the Brexers are Black or Asian would it still apply to them? If the Brexer was let's say a angry Muslim or a Jew!! Would they also be known as Gammons.

Indeed Wikipedia entries really gammon all refer to white males. Of course you can argue white on white is not racist but... as we know racism or negative connotations to once own race are at the root of racism. There is and should be no exception. Its not OK for me or ANYONE to refer to anyones colour in a disparaging way. Its from the dark ages.

And if you're a **** you may well go googling for proof gammon isn't just for white men. That's because you are part of the problem.

Oh sod seriously the two are both exclusive to each race..here we again why is anything permeating from white origins racist

When you show me the dictionary telling me that Gammon is racist then I will accept it is a racist word.

Until then, it's not a racist word in my book. Nothing more, nothing less

Well, of course they do. That's who it refers to.

It's almost as if people here do not know what gammon is and what colour it is.

Of course you can argue white on white is not racist

Of course you can, by definition, it isn't. Like men on men isn't sexist.

but...as we know racism or negative connotations to once own race are at the root of racism.

Are they? How does that work?

There is and should be no exception. Its not OK for me or ANYONE to refer to anyones colour in a disparaging way. Its from the dark ages.

Who's a snowflake now?

And if you're a **** you may well go googling for proof gammon isn't just for white men. That's because you are part of the problem.

No need.

Other races don't go that colour.

Indeed well said Efl. Thank you

It's hilarious to see the snowflake bashing RWR, who vociferously demand people stop being offended for any old reason, wither like spoiled wall flowers over the word gammon.

Brilliant.

That's because you are part of the problem.

Boohoo, chief gammon. Suck it up.

It may not be technically racist (yet) but it is intended as an insult. The fact is the word is based on skin colour and age, stereotyping by skin colour and age seems to be an odd thing to be defending.

So if we called a black person who voted brexit an over cooked crispy Gammon would you not believe it was racist until you got the nod first.

Not sure that works but hey hey...

OK using your logic.. as i said earlier so you think its OK to call angry blacks Bournvilles turning a redish black when angry especially the lighter colour ones. As it doesn't say in the dictionary its racist

Here he comes his imaginary battles and upholding righteousness against the RWR whoever they are... Loser
