John Lennon wrote a political song in the 70s called "Woman is the Nigger of the world". It was a Yoko Ono quote that Lennon liked and turned into song. It caused a minor controversy back then but the word was NOT used in its derogatory racial sense but in drawing a comparison between the domestic, economic, social 'slavery' of a 70s woman with the historical political slavery of the negro population in the West.

Yep thanks for pointing that out, Mr Slag A!!!
It certainly did offend a few folk in the Seventies that's true but Noughties politically correct sensibilities are now so exagerrated that they'll call you a racist c**t as soon as look at you... tsk! tsk! When will the bigotry end, eh?
All we saying is Give Peace a Chance!!

Were the Flintstones around in the 1950's?

Great idea ... and sorry to all posters who want to keep this thread on topic, I am one of the protagonists in taking it off topic... but I am crafting my entry now and would also be keen to see the entries of others post the comp finishing... be interesting to see if we agree with the judges verdicts too!
