Oh, for Heaven's sake!!!!!!!!!  Took me ages to work out what they were on about.  This sort of thing needs squashing fast, not apologising for.

Esheru is a prat.

If only the viewer would take the context in to consideration there would be no problem

***? Is it a problem now?

[douglas9401]

I see it is. Wake me up when black is once again derogatory.

[dave50]

I bet those who complained about it were all white.

[douglas9401]

Hugo Montenegro demands an apology from beyond the grave.

The perpetually offended.

What they dont realise is that it is this sort of thing that drives division.  This is clearly not racist and to imply so makes you wonder about the mindset who think it is.

non story... doesn't really matter does it?

How is that a racist term? yes I know it sounds like the N word but it's two different words. You can find offence in anything if you look hard enough. In fact that n word is not the bad one, that one is still a valid adjective.

Is Arnold Schwarzeneggar a racist name?

clue, in German Schwarz = Black and Neggar = ....

[naomi24]

The pernmanently offended strike again.  We'd never have known if he hadn't told us.

TORATORATORA, you are mistaken.

From Wikipedia, 

'Schwarzenegger (German pronunciation: [ˈʃvaʁtsn̩ˌʔɛɡɐ]) is a German surname that means person from Schwarzenegg, which is both a village in Switzerland (currently split between the municipalities of Unterlangenegg and Oberlangenegg) and a place in Land Salzburg in Austria. "Schwarzen" means "black", and "egg" (from the same root as the German word "Ecke" for "corner") refers to a ridge, e.g., Eggli (long ridge), Eggiman (lives on a ridge), and Eggler (farms on a ridge).'

TTT, you have seen many examples on AB of attempts to avoid the swear filter and those two words, knee and grow, have been used on other websites to avoid their filters, especially in the US.
