"Would that be like the IRA with camouflage paint on their faces in the 70s
?"
Sorry but I don't understand this question. Could you explain exactly what point you are making. I thought we were discussing the use of a word which, whether people care to admit it or not, is used to insult and intimidate black people. I feel that in 2011 its use is not acceptable.
I'm sorry if my opinion offends some members of PPRUNE but I feel strongly about this.
