UK Police Advised to Avoid Terms Like ‘Blacklisted’ and ‘Black Sheep’ Amid Concerns

[Stiddle Mump]

Back in England, my friend's Granddaughter goes to a school in Essex. In the Science room they have two writing boards. A black one for use with chalk, and a white one for use with specials felt pens. The black board is used for quick stuff, while the white board has diagrams, and writings, that are there for considerably longer.

 

His Granddaughter visited him soon after the start of the new term (last year) and said that the students were not to refer to the black, or white, boards anymore. But instead were to refer them as 'colour neutral dark', and 'colour neutral light'. Or!! Cause they were given a choice. As 'Writing board dark', and 'Writing board light'. (Could have been 'Dark writing board' and 'Light writing board'. Can't quite recall.)

 

My friend thought is was a joke. So he emailed the school in Romford, (Havering), and they confirmed what the Granddaughter had told him.

 

Strange things ahead for the UK.

So, following this argument, the police are now advised to ignore the culture that my family possesses and passed onto me, which goes back over 1000 years, and the police are now advised to regard my opinions as "white fragility"?  

I think we should be told who promoted, wrote and advised the police on this matter.

Moi? White fragility??

How rude.

   Why not just call them a Pen board and a Chalk board ?

I'm waiting for this:

"In breaking news, PM Keir Starmer signed legislation banning the word, "black," as to not offend anyone.  News at 6!"

And in the news the day after that happens:

"Kier Starmer bans all talking and all words so not as to offend anyone, however illegal immigrants will still be allowed to talk"

Duplicated

Yet no one has banned " white trash" of course.

From across the pond, stuff like this makes Trump and his ilk look like a Godsend.

 

Maybe he'll be taking applications to allow the UK to become the 54th state?  If they ask real nice...

 

 

Even trumps calling his new residence the Alabaster house .
