Yup.

Went to my corner store, took a walk around and decided I wanted to buy a Negro;


More (and more) european products are starting to make it over here with their open trade policy, this couldn't be a mistake they must've known and someone would have read the label at one point and thought something about it.

Gave me a laugh for today.


Funny how the word N***** seems to be in such use, negro is a, '' legitimate'' word its not supposed to be offensive if you get my point but as a stark reminder of certain times it just is and n**** isn't supposed to be anymore or something to that effect. No offense to the Americans on board but I think your debating on the word n***** and even b**** is a ''bit'' on the selfish side as though what goes on over there doesn't effect the rest of us, none of us use the word to refer to ourselves or like being called it by anyone yet alone one of our own, fine 'taking it back' (where did it come from?) for yourselves but it doesn't apply on a broader basis, if there were a vote on it it would be a one way decision yet it its use is a talking point giving albinos cannon fodder against the rest of us.

Needs dropping.

Plz phone or write to consumer direct, probably best to phone and voice a complaint. Not sure what they'll say as its late and I'm at work.

Peace
B.L

Culture ''clash'' they'll be over here before long. At least the companies will.

Peeps had best save consumer directs number to their phone. .lol.

Bring on the E.U, things are going to get interesting.

Its a turkish, a ''european'' made chocolate.

Thing with europe is that there wasn't exactly a civil rights era of France, Spain or Italy or any ex soviet block country for that matter so these guys have the potential to spin us ''back'' a good 100 years in regards to race relations in general. France has been on fire for a while now and its racial, their new labour laws don't have much to do with it its about the general mistreatment of ''ex'' french colonial migrants chasing their resources.

So far things aren't so bad (in england) the migrants are on an economic level close to ours but with the subsidies and backing for development that the E.U is promising with free trade, ease of travel for citizens and other benefits it won't be long before those people start climbing the ladder economically and fitting in socially well enough to begin to expouse their hatred of us as they do in their countries, so far its a culture shock for them to see us getting along with other caucasians but they'll get the picture soon enough... we've already ''lost'' Tottenham to the turkish and they're not even in on the E.U yet. All we're doing now is waiting for the rest of them to start making enough money to start their search for cheap property in other areas and for them to start looking for markets to tap into etc.. capitalist expansion is never a good thing...

Ultimately we're sitting in Europe like its home, as though we helped discover the place or something, we don't have the same rights as the African Americans in America and never will, theres no safe haven in these countries but we've been lulled into their false utopianism pretending that things ''aren't that bad'' while sticking to major cities and towns where its ''safe''. Probably why the youths are so inner city, they're contained, can hardly travel a few miles out of London without coming across any hostility on par with Resident evil let alone have the zombies migrate to where we're at... thats where the chocolate bars come from, F'in cannibal country.

Dey sell negro in my endz too.

it's no big deal,

Latin/euro-languages 'NEGRO' is just used 2 describe the color black.

See both of your points but for the product to be sold in countries where the word is used out of context (if thats possible) makes it offensive.

Negro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Definition of Negro from dictionary.net

If this product was to be sold in the states or had a Tv advertising campaign behind it in england or the states what do you think it would make direct reference to? Would it be offensive then? The majority of people will walk into those stores and relate to the term in a completely different way. Its a throw back to the 1800's theres no 22's about it. Its out of place here...

Make a flacky, tightly packaged and pretentious white chocolate bar call it ''Yid'' and see what reaction you get.

The fact that its a turkish company and not a Spanish or Portuguese one says it all. Probably have a, ''Negress'' range of chocolate dips lined up.

I'm sorry but i don't share all ure views,

it's a tasty biscuit, sum folsk are looking 2 deep into it.
Euro languages mostly derives from Latin...
the name of the produc, refers 2 the color of the biscuit...

(If this thread was complaining about Niggaspace.com then yep..i would join u in ranting)

Peace....

Anyways about time we stopped addressing each other me included as blacks...negroes...nigg**..time we starting associating our people with their origins and places associated with their tribulations....rather than this europeanised labelling...peace

I've seen this chocolate in my area too.... friend thought it would be amusing to show it to me... my cold stare made dem tek it away fro my sight lol!

Up untill two years ago there were biscuits called 'Negro Kisses'.
In Holland, the word Negro is still widely used to refer to people of African descent, even by black people themselves.

A group roughly translated as 'Organization honour and reparation for victims of slavery in Suriname' managed to convince the producer of the sweets to change it's name.

You would be stunned as to how much these people were ridiculed.

Examples of how the white Dutch reacted:

- 'The name Negro Kisses is part of our cultural heritage and you shouldn't mess whith that.'

-'You should be proud something is named after you.'

-'You're pathetic to make such a big deal out of it.'

-'You people should be proud of the name negro and even ******, cause that's who you are.'

-'Why can black rappers demean women and we cant call something negro kisses. That's unfair.'

- How can you compare 'negro kisses' with 'mengele biscuits' (Mengele was a sadistic doctor that tortured Jews in WWII). The Jews really suffered, while negro kisses is just a name.

- Negro simply means Black in Latin, so why call yourself black if we can't call you negro

-Etc.

It was all over the media and there even were a couple of Uncle Toms on tv who stated they were proud of the name openly attacking the aformentioned group and branding them as naggers.

I held my own against my white classmates and even my fellow black people by saying that I am not from Negroland, I am from Africa.

Negro simply means Black in Latin, so why call yourself black if we can't call you negro

goes right back to what i mentioned
