Gwent records the biggest increase in religious and racial hate crimes since Referendum

[elytillidie]

There's been an entirely predictable record increase in religious and race hate crimes since the Brexit vote in England and Wales.

The terrorist atrocities probably contribute to the increase far more than the Brexit vote I would have thought. Stupid people responding in precisely the way the terrorists would want them to.

So after a couple of pages later on the use of the n word, where are we?
It appears it's all down to the context of how it's used. What was the context that the 2 black guys in the Colonels video were using it to call the takeaway attendant Bitch ******?
I'm not racist, so could I call someone who's pissed me off Bitch ******?
It appears that a lot of white folk are trying to bend over backwards in apologising to black people for the way some of our ancestors treated their ancestors in yrs gone by.
Absolute nonsense! It's a horrible word, that nobody of any skin colour should be happy to use, what ever context it's meant in.
Are we gonna have a certain word that only white people can use?
As I said earlier, the world is going mad!

I don't understand why white people not being able to use a racist slur means the world is going mad? I don't see why anyone would really take issue with a minority being able to reclaim a word for themselves, it doesn't really affect anyone negatively unless someone is desperate to use this slur.

Because when white people use the word they get fired and it's front page news.

No, but lets not pretend it isn't racist of you to say that.
