Why Do Racists Think That They Can Get Away With It?
It’s it a bit arrogant to think that people around you wouldn’t be offended?

It’s like this man fell out of a space ship that came from 1972.
But seriously - why would someone shout this out, unless they were really drunk or high?

A drunken peabrain using the most pertinent insult to express its frustration is the most likely scenario. Unfortunatel

Deskdiary, of course the intent was racist, but my point is that by objecting to the word black, the victim is in effect agreeing with the thug and therefore handing him more ammunition. It needs to be turned on its head. ‘Yes, you’re absolutely right. I’m black”. That way the attack falls flat on its face.
My, how things have changed. Years ago I worked at an electric board. All the meter readers were white with just one, a large Jamaican chap, same colour as the ace of spades. They all had nicknames, his was bin liner,and no, he was not offended, just amused.
One day at lunch one of the readers says that Mrs so and so such at one address was not left a receipt after her slot meter was emptied.
She said "it was a big black chap" To which our Jamaican friend in his superb accent said " How do know it was me"
Happy innocent inoffensive days.

I trust you also call out those who are genuinely bigoted too. If so, that’s great. But if you only concentrate on those who (and you don’t clarify whether these people are justified) those who point out instances of bigotry, then surely that’s a bit lopsided.
If he lost his job, I can understand that as most companies have a policy which protects them against ‘bad actors’.

Legislation dies change mindsets.
Equal pay, smoking, seat belts, deregulation etc.
Leglislation comes about in many cases because we are changing and we need our laws to reflect that change.
Perhaps it’s a bilateral thing. Legislation changes mindsets because those mindsets are open to change.

I had already seen the Barnes interview, Chill.
I disagree with him and tbh don't really take much notice of him.
John Barnes was a fantastic footballer but an absolutely crap manager...he won't accept he was a crap manager, he blames racism for why he failed at football management.

if you are black then you have to be better than your white counterparts to be equal -that's life.
I can only assume he doesn't watch much football nowadays.

Sp, abuse only works for the abuser if offence is taken. His intention is to upset you. Carry on giving him the ammunition and he’ll carry on firing it. Treat him as the fool that he is and he has nothing to fire. I don’t know how I can put it more plainly so until something else of relevance is said here I'll leave you to it.

Whether someone takes notice of abuse or not, it will go on.
I think your privilege doesn’t allow you to understand this although I’ve explained it in language that I assume you would be able to understand.
Unilaterally laughing at bigotry doesn’t work.
Social change happens through a variety of methods.
You seem to want a status quo.
I think we can guess why.

SP, oh dear. Of necessity I'm back with you sooner than expected. My privilege? What privilege?
//You seem to want a status quo.
I think we can guess why.//
What are you talking about – and who ae ‘we’?
I’m not suggesting that laws should not exist, simply that on a personal level people need to deal with bigots differently - and the way to do that is by disappointing them.

What question?
Why you want a status quo?
Because you’re privileged and entitled.
That’s why. You think you have the best ideas for tackling bigotry, but you know nothing.
Well, not nothing - but next to nothing, which is effectively the same.
Of course, I don’t know your life and what your experiences have dictated, but just reading your posts - yeah, privileged and entitled, without any true knowledge of what she’s talking about.
