at one time black was a word that should not have been used to describe someone of African descent like the N word which i still wont use.
i think that most people with any common sense would realise that to people of a certain age, saying the word coloured to describe a black person is not meant as a a personal slur.
where as trying to use this slip of the tongue to try and win points in a discussion on an internet football forum is despicable.
BB2 IMO its you who should make an apology for stooping so low
Sorry I stopped reading when you said 'a friend off mine'

The first time i came back to Manchester,after 15 years away,i dropped the "c" word,because my daughter (3 years old at the time) made an innocent comment about a black kid and i said she was not used to seeing "coloured" people,where we live.
A life long black friend said"obversely",in a way that was like wtf!
My two mixed raced Nephews pissed themselves laughing and told me you can't say coloured anymore.
I'm like "what?",when i left,you could not say black.
BB2 is just being BB2.
Tin hat needed?

Obversely? Off topic, I know, but that is the best word ever.
