Journalists labelled 'coconuts'

[Tns]

so it's ok for them being of the dark ethnic group to be racist , or have their own private clubs but no for the light shades to have their own club?

What tickles me is that, as a white non-Muslim, I'm a honky *and* a K-word!

Yes it would seem so.
They are even making their own racist words eg:"co**nuts"!

How will i describe that word:

The round fleshy object with hair outside and milk inside?

This can get rather confusing!

 

[Sneeky]

Its not OK, same way as its not OK for Irvin to label a associate the K word to a person.

I agree, seems some of the brothers don't though, which is quite odd.

...or maby all the food is nice on the inside ( white ), and the outside is dull and hard ( brown/black ) ?

Yes indeed, you get the odd cases.

while I don't advbocate its use, i think some would point to how you find african americans use the n word.

 

[Sneeky]

Yes that it so, but in the context of South Africa, where we are and where we have come from such lingo should really be taboo and these leaders and educated people should really know better.
I understand 100% the context in which IK used the 'K' word, but I still almost fell off my chair and could not believe he said it. He was under immense pressure and quite frankly just cracked.

This other 'coconut' story is pure hate speech if the complaints to the HRC are indeed accurate.

I hope for Rapport's sake that they can substantiate the claims they are making, of JonQ, they have already made a payout recently to JZ, for such reporting.

Saying they were told about something and then not giving JonQ an opportunity to respond sounds like shoddy journalism.

I will wait for his response before making up my mind.

If it is OK for a black man to call another (the Arabic derogatory word for heathen),surely it is OK for a white man to call a black man( the Arabic derogatory word for a heathen)

Or is racialism the exclusive domain of the ruling party and it's followers?

Enough said!

Anything to do with co**nuts would be derogatory.

Oreos included.

 

[zeridine]

just to clarify i was referring to those terms as food. imho insecurity is the root behind offence taken to those terms.
