I’ve said this before, that no one should be referred to with the colour of their skin as the prefix Black Man shot by police, that heightens tension straight away.

They report on all these initiatives & movements but in reality they don’t want any of it to stop. If it does what do they write about??

kent_white Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I've listened to Joey Negro for years. Never really considered the racial connotation to his name until now. Particularly as pronounced like the e in 'neck' rather then the e in 'knee'. He'll be mortified if he's offending people given the type of music he plays and produces - it's got black influence running straight through it. Still - it's up to him!

More serious crimes, they are going to need a description of suspected ethnicity . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
