There are three separate basic taxons, the Caucasian, the mongoloid, and the negroid.
Emerging from these are variations within each of the three basic divergence on the evolutionary tree.
When the evolution of mankind is examined the very idea that all races are equal in every respect becomes obviously ludicrous.

Back then the term "Gol**og" was often used even some dolls were called that and kids loved them.There was no malice at all and being racist wasn't even considered or a term used.
It is only recently with the new influx of foreigners that seems to have cause offence instead of accepting our long standing culture
No more blackboards in schools. They are Chalk boards.
No more of what was a child,s favorite toy, a G*****og.
Nursery rhymes being banned as 'racist'
Having to include a non white person in an advert for fear of being dubbed racist if you don,'t.
The whole business has gone too far.
A cousin of mine was hauled before the local magistrate some while ago and received a reprimand just because she went into a shop in Bournemouth and asked for a reel of N***** brown cotton. Hasn,t this shade of colour always been known by this name?

Re: Race
What I find difficult to understand is that Black people are rightly treated as equal to others, so why is it necessary for such associations and organisations with the first word always being ''The Black etc''.Surely equality in the western world is still not there by these organisations being in existence?
if organisations were in existence called ''The White etc'' there would be uproar and cries of 'Racist'. So could someone please explain to me why the necessity to have them at all?
,
EDITED TO ADD - I have just spotted another one
''Southall Black Sisters''.
What would happen if that association was called ''Southall White Sisters''? Uproar?
