Rag,
It's a pretty word, pity it's been twisted and used as a vehicle for racists, but that's how it goes.
We all know and agree the word was and is used as a racist slur in US, but only recently in UK if it even has.
Non-PC certainly, but racist?

Powell made many racist statements, like, "The black man shall have the whip hand over the white man."
A very racist statement, but he does not use racist language.
He was much too clever to do that.

Mcgrath went on to say,
"A parallel to all this exists in "bambino" - when used in English, but in an Italian context, it implies an Italian baby. But outside that context, if anyone used it of a baby, it wouldn't imply the baby was Italian, just that the speaker liked to use Italian words sometimes. That's the way piccaninny has been used in countries like England, in the past anyway. I'd suspect that bert's blue eyes piccaninny song could well be English rather than American."

Now Rag, what has any of this to do with the Labour Party today?
You all kept asking for examples of the antisemitic statements and the names of the Labour people who made them.
You now have a few more, though not the whole 50 who were suspended for their antisemitic statements.
Any comments?
