Yes, intent as I said yesterday.

You’re getting there.

Black people can definitely express racial hatred towards white people and that can be prosecuted as a hate crime.

Where people often get confused is over the other definition of racism i.e. racial discrimination. That is to do with power. A black person might hate white people, but unless s/he has the power over white people to turn that hatred into discrimination, then it isn't racial discrimination.

That’s pretty much word salad.

If I shorten the word British to Brit is that racist ? No it’s not.

If I shorten other words then it is racist! What’s the difference ?

You’ve already answered it, a day after me, but still. It’s called Intent.

I didn't understand what you were asking.

I thought you were following up on Pete's point about those who say it isn't possible for black people to be racist to white people.

And stop stealing my lines :LOL::LOL::LOL:

And now you understand?

You can see now why sunshine fooked off!

But please answer my question about shortening words. We both know which words I mean.

No, that was because I called him nasty and stupid. I didn't mean it. I just got frustrated. I am much more easy going now.

You’ve called me a half wit because you couldn’t understand a one line post.

But please answer my question?

We covered this a lot last year in the "G word" debate. It all comes down to intent. Calling somebody an Aussie or a Brit is friendly. Calling somebody a P**i is done with hate.

I don't remember. But I would imagine that was during the period when you were being rude to me.

Some I’m right, thank you for admitting it.

So is it the intent or is it how it’s taken ? Or both.

I’ll just repeat my original opinion, Gammon is hate speech

It’s intended to hurt!

I didn't even realise we had discussed this recently.

Probably most people intend it to hurt.

But the one time I used it, that was meant to be a bit of silly fun.

I would imagine that most people who use snowflake also mean it to hurt.

I posted a one line post, you misunderstood it and made it about me. I did laugh.

Others didn’t struggle with it.

I’ve been rude because I consider you a passive aggressive Troll. When I’ve Trolled I’ve admitted it.

It’s not like I’m the only one saying it.
