OMG How many times have I mentioned that to my friend Bam?!! To be honest I don't think they help themselves - it's as though they're trying to separete themselves from everyone else when what they should be doing is trying to get us all together and forget our colour!

I get laughed at.
It's a sad, sad situation. And it's a situation that I don't see changing for a very long time.

Well I think you just confirmed how looked down upon it is to say "nigger" as you censored it LOL
I'm sick of the Tim Westwood show on Radio 1. This is the BBC and they find it perfectly ok to get rappers on there that have nothing more to say than "faggot". This is what the BBC spends our television license money on
The BBC won't show two girls having a short kiss, but they're fine about people shouting "faggot" over the radio. It's really sad.

I also think it sucks that I should feel obliged to reaffirm that I'm not a racist for fear of people taking my perfectly understandable viewpoint in entirely the wrong context.

Would it be considered ok to hate black people because the majorly of them are homophobic and not actually because they are black? I was having this discussion recently with some of my friends and apparently I'm racist
But of course I was having this conversation with 2 straight girls, so they wouldn't understand how annoying it can be that there is such a double standard.
