FF2,
You just don't 'get it' do you?
The word is not used to offend coloured people, the word may be used to offend coloured people, indeed I consider you to be offensive yourself by referring to 'coloured' people as 'black' people.
In this thread the word is being used merely to identify the name of an animal, an animal that has it's place in history, I can't change history, can you change history?
