Currently in production is the long-planned remake of the 1954 film The Dam Busters. Made under the auspices of Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings) and TV icon Sir David Frost, the Universal film will offer a detailed recounting of the famous 1943 raid in which the 617 squadron of the RAF used a revolutionary "bouncing bomb" to breach three dams in the industrial heart of Germany. >But there's a snag. The film's producers are presently riddled with anxiety over the name of the black Labrador owned and cherished by Wing Commander Guy Gibson. It was Nigger.
Nigger was dearly loved by Gibson and his men, who adopted him as their mascot. When he was killed by a car shortly before the raid they named a target after him in tribute.
So, should they keep it or change it? It's a hot debating point, apparently. On one hand is the issue of historical accuracy. On the other, the fear that using the actual, factual name would cause widespread offense and, presumably, boycotts, rioting and death threats.
We live in a post-PC world. Anybody who knows South Park or The Simpsons knows this. The hair-trigger sensitivities of the 1980s have been replaced by a more mature, intuitive understanding about the way the world works, especially when it comes to matters of race, and the use of that term. >And here's a point. The dam buster raid was against a Nazi regime that considered black people as sub-human. Thus, keeping the dog's name would imbue the film with a delicious irony.
Do you agree with any of this? Should they change the dogs name or not?
To be fair, Niger means black in latin. That's really where the anglified version of it. Nigger, comes from. So if you think about it. He just called his dog black. Maybe because it was black, idk. Could be an idea.

>The dam buster raid was against a Nazi regime that considered black people as sub-human. Are they sure about that. I think the general idea was they didn't want a bunch of africans in germany. Because they didn't want ethnic mixing, and wanted to preserve german ancestry in germany. Which, where else should german ancestry be but in germany? Seems like they don't exactly have the facts.
Ryder Cruz
If you don't want your daughter to take the BBC you think them subhuman.
But of course this doesn't apply to that particular country in the Middle East.
Chase Powell
Germans are raced mixed Europeans they didn't want Africans because they were racist.
>Germans are raced mixed Europeans they didn't want Africans because they were racist. Yes ofcourse they were racist. If racist means that you don't want to be minority in your own homeland and gradually dissapear as a people in your own nation. Then yes. They very much were. Because tell the truth now. Isn't that pretty much what a racist is? How is that evil and bad though? If you think about it..
Nolan Walker
Let's say hypothetically if a kenyan says. Well i don't want my people to gradually dissapear in kenya, and be replaced by other people. Would you call him an evil racist? The only way he could not be a racist is if he would advocate for his own peoples gradual destruction? So i think it's quite disingenuous to say that is evil. Isn't it more evil to say that kenyans shouldn't exist in kenya? Where else are they supposed to exist? They can't exist? Well if you say that, you can pretty much forget about pretending to stand for nice things.

Its current year and you still are racist.
Racist.
Jose Smith
>Its current year and you still are racist. >Racist. So. You don't have a good answer because there is none. I get it.
Luis Peterson
It's funny how that 'works.'
Nathan Harris
The answer is obvious that we live in a globalized world now. The need to protect your race from another is non existent as we all humans anyways. So being a racist in modern times is counter productive to progress.
>The answer is obvious that we live in a globalized world now. The need to protect your race from another is non existent as we all humans anyways. So being a racist in modern times is counter productive to progress. Well no not really. Just because some people don't want to live in their own countries. Doesn't mean that it's fair that whatever country they go to. Those people should be wiped out. Just so other people can live in their countries. You are just wrong. The fact is you don't respect different people at all. You think if you want to go to another country. Then the world should revolve around you and what you want.

>Wanna take a bath? Pink was watching this film on one of the 13 channels of shit before he busted up the hotel room. >What are you running away?
Christopher Wilson
If there is coming too many people to a certain country. They have a right to say sorry you are coming too many. So you have to go somewhere else. Or do the outrageous thing such as perhaps stay in your own countries where your own people are, and try to make them work.
Thomas Williams
>So being a racist in modern times is counter productive to progress. You say that, but if the shoe was on the other foot you would be raging! What ethnicity are you. You don't have to say. But if your ethnicity was on risk of ceasing to exist in your own homeland, and in everywhere else. And someone said. Hey don't be a racist, why do you deserve to exist. Are you against progress? See you are just a hypocrite. And that's all it is. And you don't even understand the evil you peddle. But you make an illusion in your own mind, that it's a good thing you peddle. It's not.
Oliver Clark
You are not the good guy, you are a bad guy! But you don't realize it. But what you say clearly shows that you are. It's truly sad.

We are creating a borderless, raceless, genderless world. The future is now old man. You wont be able to escape whats coming. Black people are rarer than whites. I mean the real dark skin. We are happy to mix and eventually the world will be a creme color.

What planet does this faggot live on?
>as we all humans anyways Are all africans clones of eachother? Go to africa and tell them that. That there´s no difference between the various african peoples. is an oriental and a peruvian identical? Go tell them that, enjoy the response. >We are creating a borderless, raceless, genderless world. The future is now old man. No you are not. It's not even combinatorically possible to mix everyone. And if you tried. They'd still be differently mixed and different people. >You wont be able to escape whats coming. So that's threat right. What a fraud you are even to yourself. >Black people are rarer than whites. Actually they are not. Not even close. Again you think all 'white' people are the same. Go to africa tell them all africans are the same. Remember the hutu and the tutsis in 1994? You should look it up. >We are happy to mix and eventually the world will be a creme color. Tell you what. Why don't you go mix up in your own countries! Just stay there mix it all up all you want. You say blacks are so rare. Enjoy your blackness in africa. If you want that, go ahead.
AYO *smacks lips* HOL UP *thinks of Colonel Sanders* SO YOU BE SAYING ... ... Sheeeeeeeit
Luis Bell
And he writes it right after this: >On the other, the fear that using the actual, factual name would cause widespread offense and, presumably, boycotts, rioting and death threats. How the fuck do you then type that we've moved on from hair trigger sensitivities into a more mature understanding of race? Leftists are so FUCKING STUPID.

>Sheeeeeeeit yeah, they think he called his dog nigger because he hated his dog. right. No he called it black, because it was black labrador. If he hated his dog howcome it was the mascot of his entire unit! And he brought it fucking with him everywhere. They don't even know nigger is the anglified version of the latin niger, which means black. He called it black because it was black. It was a black labrador. These people are geniuses. They don't even realize niger/nigger means black. Did he hate his dog? No, it was the fucking mascot of his entire unit, and he loved his black labrador. It never occurred to these morons that nigger/niger means black. They don't know! The only reason nigger has a negative conotation is because people got tired of some black people. If he had gotten annoyed with his dog. nigger, you fucking asshole dog! But he loved his dog. Brought it with him anywhere he could! And it was mascot of the entire RAF unit. >Nigger was dearly loved by Gibson and his men, who adopted him as their mascot. When he was killed by a car shortly before the raid they named a target after him in tribute. That's some hate right there isn't it.
Christian Davis
My mom grew up in rural Minnesota. She did not lay eyes on a colored person until she was 20. In the late 1950s-early1960s Grandma got a Cocker Spaniel. All black, the mail carrier suggested she name the black dog the N word. It wasn’t thought to be racist. My mother was born in the early 1920s, a different era.

Germanics are a highly mixed European people with a country younger than America. They are like super Europeans if the world was only Europe they would be the master race.
Sebastian Taylor
As capitalism spreads people will be able to mingle with each other worldwide causing the change. Soon this world will be mixed and no place will be safe for your kind to run to. Well unless if you are a jew than my apologies.
Jose Bell
ppl in the confederate south had accents, they would say negro but it would come out as nigger.
