        No. Nothing of the sort. A slip of the tongue is mispronoucing Jeremy Hunts name, not using a racist phrase.

        We'll have to disagree Rightly so, it's now a little used expression. I believe that it was not intentionally used in a racist manner.

        Bullshit. The words either offensive or it's not. You can't have it both ways. It's used on virtually every Rap song and nothings said.

        It was a very common phrase when I was growing up. I'm sure it's just a mistake & not intended to insult.

        Black kids were called names that would be regarded as racist now. But they didn't mind, and you played with them at break time.

        In your opinion. Fact is, those black kids were our friends. We played together, shared sweets, went fishing together. There was no malice.

        Because we watched tv programmes like 'Love thy neighbour' and thought it was acceptable. We didn't even know what racism was back then.
