it’s RACIST to use the word colored.  wtf. why is that a bad word? what’s next?

I just happened upon this a minute ago.  I don’t follow sports here, or as the Brits call it, Sport. No ‘s’ on the end.

But the headline caught my eye and I was going to pass on it until I realized the word was “colored.” There’s a video at the end at the link. Take look and listen.
His accent is pretty hard but judge for yourself if he said anything in an offensive way.  Or meant it to be taken as ridicule based on race.
Jeesh.  The stupid hand wringing bed wetters are making things worse by the day.

So then, an apology for the use of the word colored.  Fucked up politically correct left wing dictatorship has taken over.

Gaffe of the day: Alan Hansen forced to apologise after making race blunder TWICE on Match Of The Day

Outrage on Twitter after pundit calls black players ‘coloured’

England captain John Terry to be charged over alleged racist remarks
By EMMA REYNOLDS

BBC pundit Alan Hansen is the latest to come under fire in football’s race row after making an embarrassing gaffe on Match of the Day.

The commentator - who is paid a huge £40,000 per show - shocked viewers by twice describing black players as ‘coloured’ when discussing the John Terry and Luis Suarez cases.

Fellow pundit Lee Dixon looked on in apparent discomfort as Hansen, 56, said: ‘I think there’s a lot of coloured players in all the major teams and there are lots of coloured players who are probably the best in the Premier League.

‘If you look at 25 or 30 years ago it was probably in a bad way - not as bad as some of the other nations on the Continent - but certainly there is always, always room for improvement.’

The ex-footballer had been discussing the separate allegations that England captain Terry and Liverpool striker Suarez have hurled racist abuse at other players on the pitch.

Ex-Liverpool star and broadcaster Stan Collymore was quoted in The Sun saying: ‘What colour would that be? Blue? Green? Orange?’

Although he didn’t see the incident, musician Example waded in to the debate, saying: ‘I didn’t see MOTD but did Alan Hansen really say ‘coloured players’?? Wow. Hand him his P45.’

Hansen was even labelled ‘ignorant’ and ‘overpaid’ by society blogger Toby Young on the Telegraph website - the same newspaper Hansen writes for as a columnist.

Mr Young wrote: ‘Alan Hansen, the overpaid football pundit, just dropped a clanger on Match of the Day. In fact, make that two clangers.

‘Clearly, Hansen’s intentions were honourable. But his ignorance is breathtaking. Is he really unaware that the word “coloured” has been verboten since the mid-70s?’

Hansen has now apologised, but it may come too late with fans and observers horrified at the lack of action to stamp out racism in football.

He said: ‘I unreservedly apologise for any offence caused. This was never my intention and I deeply regret the use of the word.’

LETS NOT SAY COLORED

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
