Apologies if this is at all racist, as the lines so high these days, im not sure what is and isn't racism these days......
Black people. Why do they call themselves black? I know you can get some really REALLY dark skinned folk who actually do look black, but the majority of black folk arn't black, they are brown.
Pickup a child, ask them the colour, I would be white, and they would say a black person isn't black, but they would call them brown. I.E Whys that mans skin brown (we've all heard a kid say it  ).
Its a genuine question without racism intended. Why do black people call themselves black, when in fact they are brown?
I guess I could ask the same about white people? My skin isn't the same as my white shirt, in fact, I don't have a clue what colour I actually am. Im not white, or pink, or tanned, more a kinda beige colour...
Acutally, fuck being beige, im white.....
Is this the same kinda thoughts as a black person and the word brown?
Any racist sh1t goes on here, i'll delete!!!!!!!

See isn't the word coloured also offensive these days?
I love the word coloured, but not for black folk. I heard a black chap say this, and it sticks with me to this day....
You call me coloured..?
Yet you go red in the sun
Brown when you tan
Green and Yellow when your ill
Blue when you are cold
And white at all other times.
Meanwhile, I remain black.
Put a white chap right in his place

Lol @ calling black people coloured. There is only one colour on them, black, white people are coloured. Like me for instance, brown hair, white skin brown eyes, (big thick) pink cheb end and tiny nipples.
WHITE POWER!

Yes, as they also use "z's" in some words where we use an "s". I was just saying they are fools.

I refuse to say coloured person when describing someone. One of the things that used to piss me off about Norwich Union.
