I see it that it's all too easy nowadays for whiteys to jump on the racist bullshit and ham it up. I lived in Brixton for 12 years and saw atleast 6-8 blatant, vile acts of racism, some shit you'd be totally shocked at
EVERY single case was black on white racism

I remember a load of shitcunt black girls* giving me shit on a bus in Brixton once, "I'm gonna cut you white boy, whatchoo lookin at white boy...." Blah fuckin blah...
When I said "come on then, try and cut me then..."
All I got was more racist shit as they pootled off teh bus. I got a round of applause
*shit, can I say that?

I can't be racist as I have slept with at least 6 black chicks
This begs at least two questions:
1: One at a time or all at once?
2: Have you slept with chicks of other races too? If you confine yourself only to black sexual partners, that might make you a little bit racist. Actually, if you confine yourself to just chicks, you're probably homophobic too. -

Well, funnily enough, there were a lot of white plantation owners who did exactly this.

True fact.

For the record I'm Hong Kong Chinese and moved to London only 2 years ago, so I dont think i share some of the subtle cultural references/ psychologies mentioned above. as an outsider/newcomer there is no "by default" race for me. I am aware of the "knife culture" in the city but i have no idea if stabbers are typically white, black or asian. as a cyclist i have had some unpleasant encounters both black and white drivers and pedestrians.
Concerning with why I described him *only *by skin colour besides gender, I did think about height and age, but i am especially bad in judging height, and tend to over-estimate ages of other races. So i thought it's better omit than getting them wrong. As clothing is temporary, i didnt mention that in the "story" as i did in the police report.
The vague mention of the kitchen knife in the final chapter paired with the skin colour of the assailant supposed to fill the reader - already conditioned by the previous reports in "Daily Star" - with fear and sympathy towards the author.
i do not remember what race the burglarers are in that incident. concerning the knife, it was because i grabbed a glass prepared to break it to defend myself only later realised there were some serious weapon on his way into the living room.
Sorry if i am ruining everyone's excited debate based implicitly on the white/black distinction. To conclude the description was out of limitation other than "focus" i.e. racism really. My point is that not every wording has a meaning that can and only can be interpretted by particular frameworks. The consequent "extinguisher" attitude towards (expression of) racism can easily miss the point, which doesnt help to address what conditions extreme forms of classification and its derivatives, in this case of other human beings.
I understand BMMF's professional concerns about the structure of racism that permeate the society through "racist speaks", but i seriously doubt the legitimacy of the methodology to equate particular incidents (jargon: text) i.e. mine in this case to a cultural phenomenon. IMO it risks pointless confrontation that just stir up muddy water.

I know, but English grammar is descriptive, not prescriptive. We have all been using the expression "incorrectly" so extensively and for so long that fighting a rearguard action for its original meaning is a bit of a lost cause.

You're coming out with a load of knee-jerk racist shite in the name of irony or common sense or some bullshit. Personally I think it's good for these discussions to surface now and again; a barometer for the socio-political atmosphere at lfgss. I like irreverence, whimsy, filth, banter, and whatnot, but I don't like prejudice. It's the paranoid and persistent little twat that lives near our brain stems, and has done since we were fucking reptiles. I don't want to live in a world where those hateful impulses are given too much scope, nor do I want to participate in a forum where they're proudly on display, particularly when I've been here for a long time and know that lfgss has existed without them.

But to quip about the slave trade and how they were abused by white masters is no different to talking about every barbaric race, tribe, clan, country that has ever existed and done exactly the same over hundreds if not thousands of years.
It was a part of history that no-one should forget, yet if we start whinging about Vikings, The Romans, The Normans, Egyptians, Polynesian cannibals then fuck me, we'd be hatin on every race and culture! -

I don't get this. The fact is, the fella breaking in was black. How can HHH saying he was black be racist?!
If he said he was a n***** then OK, racist
Or would it be easier to say he was West Indian, least reminding you that he could just as easily have been African, or heaven forbid even British black...
