Stripey Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 he was just being a cheeky bugger as usualIt's not cheeky, it's just the kind of casual racism that unfortunately still seems to be acceptable to certain people around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skubbs Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Casual Racism?? What was racist about mentioning her colour??Chocolate spice? Oh ok... so if that is racist, what about having a friend who's nickname is Ginger Goth, well that's discriminating isnt it? Purely because they are referred to, or named due to a certain characteristic?And what about the nickname Shorty? God Almighty, we can't refer to someone because of their height! That's racist...Oh stop trying to find a racist meaning in every comment purely because, "oh would you know it" one of the band happens to be black.

Fast Caz Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Im racist but yet i have alot of black friends who know what im like and know that i call it like i see it.To be honest i can honestly i bet everyone of you's that had a problem with what i said have laughed at or told some racist jokes before.butWe can get onto a big old fun "serious" debate over the internet about racism and what not but this thread is about the spice girls so lets keep it that way.ugh uh kill whitey.

HeinzHines Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 DRIVELReally, honestly, think why some people would find calling her chocolate spice is offensive...i would agree she is probably more chocolate coloured than 'black', but that isnt what was intended by the original statement. Therefore, its a racist remark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skubbs Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 And how do you know what was meant by the original statement? Did you write it?Aaaaw did it take you a whole 5 minutes to think up the "drivel" remark, I hope you feel clever now, aaaaw.Well this is getting boring, it's not a racist statement because it doesn't degrade her in anyway does it? And no amount of arguing online is going to change you're mind.Pity, this was oh so much fun *cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeinzHines Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 And how do you know what was meant by the original statement? Did you write it?No i didnt write it. And we all know, whether he meant any offense or not which is beside the point, he was bringing attention to Mel whatever her second name is, by calling her 'chocolate spice', it is a racist remark because it is nicknaming due to her skin colour, just because its not very harsh doesnt mean its not racist by definition.Aaaaw did it take you a whole 5 minutes to think up the "drivel" remark, I hope you feel clever now, aaaaw.Yeah. I feel pretty clever to be honest.Well this is getting boring, it's not a racist statement because it doesn't degrade her in anyway does it?.She once told me there is nothing more she likes than being reffered to as 'chocolate spice' rather than Mel.

WHY HAVE THEY REFORMED? I'm ashamed so say that when younger, my group of friends and I were crazed on the Spice Girls. After a week I wised up and tried to forget about it, ha ha.Is this not just a chance for Posh to strut her designs on the stage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

framheim Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 No i didnt write it.
