If anything, these stupid policies are more likely to create racial hostilities than sooth the differences.

In Sydney, some groups call for the name of the suburb, Blacktown to be removed because it is offensive to blacks. Are the blacks calling for this? No, just the irrational bleeding left.

Songs like Bah Bah Black Sheep does not create racism. Stupid Pro-Discrimination(how is it a positive when it's not) and changing names of towns is representative of how idiotic these brain dead twerps are.

Really, are we going to stop calling the colour black, black?

Strikes me that rather than changing EVERYTHING else that it is refered to as black, it would be easier to just stop describing black people as black.

Probably best not to start calling them "fluffy" though.

Funny thing is that if the white majority government tried to do that, black people would probably come out and "wtf? We don't care about the word 'black' what we want is equal chances in education and the work place, and equal pay for equal performance".

Removing the word black from primary school songs is all about the appearance of fighting racism. It's an "easy win" so we're all over it.

Start tackling real racism, it's not about being offended by nursery rhymes. I've yet to walk past a BNP or KKK meeting and hear them singing "ba ba black sheep" at the top of their lungs.

The thing is . . .

BLACK SHEEP DO EXIST!



The song isn't racist, and it has nothing to do with black people. Sure, you could make it racist if you tried hard enough, but that would be like saying that white chickens are racist.

Is this racist?



The song should not have been changed simply because it is in no way racist. That is the overuse of Political Correctness - changing things that can only be misconstrued as racist by pig-headed adults.
