Black shower

The Black Power gang has lodged a Treaty claim with the Waitangi Tribunal "saying gangs exist because of colonisation."  And of course, they're right.  If not for colonisation there wouldn't be gang warfare, would there, there'd be tribal warfare.

Is that what they're complaining about?

  1. Black? Odd sort of 'black'.

    Now here's a conundrum for the Anxious To Be Seen Saying And Doing Everything Correctly:

    Given that 'black' has gone the same way as 'negro' - Lord knows why - shouldn't they be African-American Power?

    The fact that they're neither shouldn't matter as they've never even been black in the first place ...

    Always a bit of sport to throw the cat amongst the pigeons. A black cat, of course! ;)

  2. Yeah, it's ironic, isn't it, that at best they're only a light beige -- and that the "Black Power" moniker itself is something they borrowed from offshore.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
